By now Cody Blick had lost hope that he’d ever recover his stolen golf clubs. It’d been nearly a month since, on the eve of the final round of Web.com Tour Q-School, he discovered that his Titleist sticks had been swiped from the garage of his rental house. A few hours later, with a set that he cobbled together at the course, he shot 63 and secured his playing privileges for 2019.
For the next few weeks, Blick continued to receive social-media messages from loyal followers in the Phoenix area. They said they weren’t giving up the search, that they were checking pawn shops and local clubs.
