I woke up this morning to this breaking story so I felt it important to close the loop on the story of Cody Blick and missing golf clubs.
Early last month, we posted here that Cody Blick had his clubs stolen hours before the final round of Web.com Tour Q School. Blick eventually went on to shoot a closing 63 and gain status on the Web.com using a makeshift set. Well, a month later, there’s been a breakthrough in the case. I’ll let Blick and Golf Digest tell you the rest of the story. I just want to know what Scotty Cameron Blick had and how beat up it is now.
Per Golf Digest:
It began with a random Arizona woman’s encounter with a homeless man, which led to her buying a set of golf clubs he had possession of for $75. Upon seeing Blick’s name stamped on the bag and clubs, she Googled him and learned of his story. From there, the woman managed to track down the phone number of Blick’s mom and reached out.
Needless to say, Blick was surprised to get a New Year’s Day text from his mom regarding the found clubs. He was excited when photos confirmed the clubs were his, but somewhat disappointed by the condition they appeared in. Still, Blick decided they were still worth buying back. During a follow-up phone call, Blick’s dad offered $300 for the clubs and the woman quickly agreed (Apparently, she hadn’t seen Blick’s $5,000 reward offer from Dec. 9). Not a bad deal for a tour pro’s set, even a beat-up one. Still, there was the matter of actually buying/retrieving the clubs from another state. That’s when fate intervened again.
…
The bag itself “is toast,” but Blick had already gotten a new one from Titleist and had put together a set (different than the makeshift one he fired his famed 63 at Q School with) to embark with on his rookie campaign on the Web.com Tour. Blick, 25, doesn’t anticipate using any of his old clubs when the season starts at the Bahamas Great Exuma Classic next week, except maybe the one he was most upset about losing: a Scotty Cameron putter he’d played since 2010.
A fun ending in a way to a wild story. Now let’s just hope Blick has a great rookie season on the Web.com and finds himself climbing the ladder to the PGA Tour.
