Hi Reddit, so about 3-4 years ago, I was hanging out with this girl, let's call her Tracey, most days. We were pretty close, and we got together a lot. One day, I was in her apartment, I saw this cool set of golf clubs. I don't golf a ton, but over the years I've started to go more because my dad is an avid golfer. It's a way for us to bond and have some really great father daughter time. I told Tracey this, and she decided to give me her clubs. I was so shocked for the offer, I asked if she wanted any money for them, but she said her mom gave them to her for free and she wasn't going to use them. I accepted them on the spot, and was so happy to tell my dad. Fast forward, we haven't spoken, we didn't end on bad terms or anything, we just grew apart. Well today she messaged me asking for the clubs back. Her dad passed about 2 years ago, and apparently the clubs were a gift to her mom from him. I guess she messaged Tracey asking for them, and she told her that she gave them to me. I honestly don't know what to do. I really like them and I've used them a bit with my dad and by myself at the range. Part of me feels like it would be shitty to not give them back, but at the same time it's been almost 4 years since we've spoken, and I feel kinda awkward about the whole thing. To get a gift that long ago, and suddenly be asked for them back makes me feel even more conflicted. I'm really sorry that her dad passed and her mom is feeling that these clubs would be a connection to him, I feel like I have no right to say no. I know that it's not really relevant, but Tracey said her mom didn't even want to use them just to have them. I know that it's the sentiment that matters more, but to me who's actually used them and is proud to have my own set, it kinda matters to me. I just wanna make sure that I do the right thing or say the right thing so there are no hurt feelings on both sides. What do you guys think?
