You lost the man’s golf clubs though?!
LIV Golf’s Ian Poulter is playing in the Saudi-backed circuit’s upcoming Texas event, but he currently doesn’t have clubs to compete with.
Recently, the Englishman took a flight from Heathrow Airport to the Lone Star State but flew without a single club to his name.
During the flight, British Airways sent an email to Poulter “to inform you that a bag has not traveled with you today,” and stated that Poulter needed to get in contact with them so they could deliver the clubs back to him.

Needless to say, Poulter was livid.
“FFS @british_airways so dispointing [sic],” wrote Poulter on his Instagram story. “I checked in 2 hours 30 minutes before the flight. What could possibly be the excuse. Just received the email 3 hours into the flight. I wouldn’t have bothered flying if you’re not sending my golf clubs. Can’t swing fresh air.”
“Talk about pi**ed off @british_airways. The golf bag wasn’t over weight,” Poulter said in a separate post, per the Daily Mail. “I took it to over size and scanned it and watched it go down the belt. #Pathetic.”

What’s up with golf clubs getting outright disrespected during air travel lately?
Remember the incident I blogged about with the East Tennessee State University (ETSU) men’s golf team and their golf clubs?
Nice of @Delta to handle our clubs with such care… pic.twitter.com/5tcIivt9dy

What a travesty! Let’s do better, airports!
