So nearly...
Not me, but a golf-mad friend, won a Callaway Big Bertha driver by answering a question on a radio show. The club was duly delivered one morning so he allowed himself a moment to unwrap his new toy and stare at it before he put it back in the box and set off for work.

Arriving home that evening, he was all fired up and about to head off to the driving range but he couldn't find the club anywhere. That's when his wife admitted to taking a load of stuff to the municipal dump, including what she thought was the 'empty' packaging containing his prize. A frantic trip to the dump failed to turn up the missing £200 club that he had owned for only a few hours and held for mere seconds.

Perhaps there is a dustman in Bury whose golf handicap has come on in leaps and bounds in the past months....
