A young golfer whose prized clubs were stolen last week will have his clubs returned to him today, according to police.

The 15-year-old aspiring golfer lost the clubs Friday, a day before an important qualifying tournament.

Surveillance footage at the Nanaimo Golf Club was released to the public, showing a man running across the parking lot with the clubs over his shoulder.

 

Police received several tips from the public soon after, leading officers to a home on Highland Boulevard.

A 36-year-old Nanaimo man was arrested at his home Wednesday and issued with a promise to appear Aug. 21 in Nanaimo provincial court on charges of theft and possession of stolen property.

Police recovered "only a few golf clubs" at the time, but on Friday they found the rest of the set at an undisclosed location. Nanaimo RCMP said they also found two other sets of golf clubs, at least one of which was stolen during a break and enter at the Nanaimo Golf Club on May 8.

One of those sets has been returned to its proper owner, but the other - a black M5 golf bag containing a variety of irons and two putters - hasn't been identified.

The teen was told Friday morning that his clubs were found "and he is overwhelmed," said Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O'Brien.

He ended up qualifying for the B.C. Junior Amateur golf tournament, after the club loaned him a set of irons.

 

 

I had a great sleep but woke up at 5.30am and messed around on the computer for a while then decided it was better to get up so I did and went for my usual morning walk.  For years now when I visit I do a walk of about 8km through the Village and then into the country and this is what I did!!!

.

No traffic this time of day…

and we on Vancouver Island think our gas prices are high!!!

That is 135.9 pounds per litre which converts to about $2.17 a litre!!!!

Scenes from the walk!!

Mum and Dad and babies going for a swim!!!

 

No trains this morning!!

We got home in time for a quick supper then sat down to watch an amazing live concert from outside Buckingham Palace…the show went on for over three hours.
