Scottish golfer Scott Jamieson fumed at Air France after the airline company lost his clubs en route to the French Open.
The 32-year-old, who competed in Final Open Qualifying at Gailes Links on Tuesday, flew out to Paris yesterday for the European Tour event at Le Golf National, but his clubs were left behind in Edinburgh as the plane had ‘too much fuel onboard’.
Jamieson then took to Twitter to show his disgust at the airline company’s service.
.@AirFranceUK proving yet again they are worst airline in the sky. Too much fuel onboard so have to leave bags behind, shambles

.@AirFranceUK any chance I can get my clubs before I play @OpenFranceGolf 2moro? Direct flight and you can’t manage

@scottjamieson54 1/2 HI Scott, we apologise for our late reply. Our baggage centre informed us that the luggage are not located yet.

.@AirFranceUK how can you not know where my bags are? It was a direct flight. And your mistake caused them to be taken off. Pathetic.

Before his round, and with still no sign of the clubs, he tweeted:
Still no clubs or clothes Undies on inside out and bag of old spanners. There’s usually a story behind all great wins

It left the Scot having to play the opening round on Thursday without his own set – and he looked to be having a solid round at level par through 14 holes until a triple-bogey at 15 and bogey at 17 put him back to four-over-par. And, after his round, Jamieson still had no answer.
@scottjamieson54 Hello Scott. Our central baggage team have been unable to locate your luggage in CDG and have contacted EDI for updates. TY

Just incredible how bad @AirFranceUK can be. How on earth can you not know where they are?
