Delta Airlines vows to pay $4K after man's golf clubs go up in flames

A Florida man who said his golf bag and clubs were burned will get $4,000 from Delta after the airline agreed to reimburse him for damage.

John Andre told WKRC-TV his clubs were charred after a flight home from Atlanta to Fort Myers, Florida.

“These have been dragged, and then they caught fire,” Andre told the station. “And then I realized when it came around again… ‘Oh my god! These are my clubs!’

“The freight guy said they dragged it. Of course, it wore through the protective covering, then they started to spark, and then it caught everything on fire.”

After filing a claim, the airline called Andre to apologize and said it would make good on the $4,000 in damage.
