GOLFER SHANE LOWRY has asked Dublin Airport to locate his missing golf clubs.
In a Tweet published this afternoon, the 2019 Open Championship winner appealed to the DAA to help locate his kit bag and suitcase.

The Journal has contacted the DAA in relation to Lowry’s appeal. The authority said that they were unable to offer a comment at this time.
Lowry’s clubs are not the first which have gone missing, with Leona Maguire making a similar online plea to Dublin Airport after her kit bag went missing en route to Geneva last month.
The incident came in the same week as Irish musician Andy Irvine said that two of his instruments, which he believes are worth over €16,000, went missing on his journey from Dublin to Copenhagen.
Maguire’s clubs have since been located.
Baggage issues in the capital’s airport have dominated headlines in recent weeks, with the Oireachtas Transport Committee hearing that almost 4,200 lost bags are waiting to be reunited with their owners last week.

Par for the course
@Mark Costello: I see what you did there
@Mark Costello: comment of the week and its only Tuesday
While they’re at it could they have a look for my canoe paddle. I’ve only been waiting 22 years for it.
Check the bushes on the perimeter of the airport… too much back spin on the approach
Honestly you’d think it’s being done on purpose now.
Dear oh dear. You couldn’t make it up. Thanks be to Jebus I’m holidaying in Ireland this year.
@Terry Fagan VO: Well at least you can watch yourself being ripped off.
@Michael Bardon: Maybe, but I won’t lose my golf clubs.
Should of flew with Top Flite…sorry
@Caddyshack: eh..should ‘have’ ‘flown’ with Top Flite.
Need to put apple tags on everything these days
@Lucious Sweet: they still wouldn’t let you in the door
I found some clubs at baggage reclaim this week, open to offers.
Fore f::k sake
It’s amazing thousands of bags are missing in Dublin airport, it should not make much difference who stiff is missing it becoming a joke at this stage
@john: lots of help available if your stiff is missing
They took a snooker cue from me saying it could be a weapon,i had to check it never to be seen again,c#####
@Paul Clavin: feel for you, obviously not the run of the mill cue. It’s just a total sh1iit fe5t atm but there’s always stuff that’s been siphoned off, you literally have no choice when you’re at the top of the queue and they’re telling you this, it’s miss the flight of check it, or lose it….!
I’m only here for the funny comments lol
Now that’s rough.
Call in the army
Maybe his fellow golfers could chip in and buy him a new set
So not funny. He’s a nice guy, and a national champion, to say the least. Is nothing safe.

@Susan Keane: lol for how much
