A couple of golfers came up with the perfect plan to walk away with more than $1,000 worth of putters. They would walk into a golf course’s pro shop, one of them would identify the items they wanted to take and set them aside. The other would then casually stuff the putters down his pants before they walked out.
The plan worked perfectly. The employees of the shop were distracted while helping other customers and the two made off with their new putters without incident. This dynamic duo forgot one very important detail in their plan.
The golf shop, like every other store these days, has surveillance cameras rolling. These two weren’t prepared for that reality. Subsequently, the Ferndown Forest Golf Course’s pro shop caught the entire incident on camera.
The theft went down on Sunday afternoon at the Royal Winchester golf shop in the United Kingdom. The shop’s owner, Steve Pockneall, told the Daily Mail that two golfers stole a couple of Scotty Cameron Putters valued at more than $500 (£425) apiece.
The video helped the golf club identify the two men and recover the stolen putters. The matter has been handed over to the police.
