Golf courses are certainly no strangers to unfortunate incidents. And recently, yet another course witnessed that during a leisurely on-course session, thousands of dollars worth of damage was incurred by the golfers. The incident in question involves a few golf clubs worth an estimated $5000 that met an unexpected fate.

A video of the unfortunate incident is currently running rampant online, with golf fans from all over the world experiencing frustration, heartbreak, and annoyance. So what exactly happened to the clubs? Let’s find out!

An unlucky set of clubs suffers unfortunate damage on the golf course

Recently, a video of a burning golf bag in a cart has been making the rounds on Instagram. As per reports, a watchman is believed to have lit a cigar and thrown a scorching-hot lighter in the golf bag. The bag instantly lit up in flames, possibly ruining all their clubs and all the accessories inside the bag. In such a dangerous situation, there were no reported casualties, except, of course, for the beautiful set of clubs that sat in the PXG (Parsons Xtreme Golf).

Soon after the fire started, a man dressed in red made feeble efforts to extinguish it by throwing a bit of water on it. When that didn’t work, another individual in gray attire who was the possible owner of the bag aggressively began pulling out his golf clubs from the flames and throwing them out onto the course.

While the poor troop was baffled and struggling to salvage the situation, the cameraman capturing the video criticized one of them and stated, “Shouldn’t smoke cigars.” Well, it certainly seems like this time the damage has already been done!

Generally, a frequent golfer carries a bag of 14 golf clubs, including the flagship irons, woods, balls, putters, and wedges. As per the PXG site, the bag that was set ablaze, along with the equipment in it, retails for nearly $5,000. And although the team sprung into action quickly, it certainly seemed like their clubs had already suffered irreversible damage!
