Tour pro FUMING after United Airlines DESTROY his golf bag en route to event
Tour pro's golf bag left in tatters with multiple clubs damaged by airline.
A Tour pro has taken to Twitter to prove just how badly his golf bag got ruined by United Airlines on Monday.
Wesley Hunter, a Mini Tour pro from Alabama, took to Twitter to show the state his PING golf bag was left in following his flight from Denver to Pesacola, with a stop-off in Houston.
The American posted three pictures of his damaged bag, as well as a snapped TaylorMade Stealth Driver with Ventus shaft, and a chipped 56-degree wedge.
Hi there, Wesley. We're truly sorry that this has been your experience. If you haven’t done so already, you’ll need to open a damaged baggage claim with our Baggage team directly. Please call our Baggage Service Center at 1-800-335-2247. ^DK

Hunter tweeted:
United Airlines then replied:
2 weeks later: “best we can offer is a free meal voucher and free WiFi on your next United flight (expires in one month)”

One Twitter user could not help but have some fun with their response:
Looks like they tied it to the tail like the tin cans on a wedding car.

Hunter says he now has to wait until Thursday to go back to the airport for United Airlines to assess his claim and see how much damage has been done to his bag.
Out of town at the Alabama open, submitted a claim, have to go back to the airport Thursday for them to asses how much damage has been done. Will update on what they say!

Hunter recently came close to qualifying for the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club in June.
"This game just kicks you in the d--k over and over again," Hunter said after just missing out on the US Open.
He's no doubt still thinking the same.
