This golf course had some of its green destroyed by a vandal in a 4WD, but an amazing reward is up for grabs for those who have information about the incident.
FROM time to time, we come across horror stories of golfers getting vandalised. Whether fuelled by alcohol or it simply being a case of kids being kids, these evil acts usually result in a golf course’s greens being torn up by tire tracks—and some very unhappy golfers.
But one Idaho municipal course has concocted a smart idea to try to catch the culprits who caused recent damage: offer free golf.
River Bend Golf Course in Wilder is offering a free 2022 season pass for anyone who can help police find those responsible for driving a four-wheeler in circles over multiple greens on Saturday night.
KTVB.com reports crews have already began trying to patch up the areas, but that course officials are particularly happy with the timing of the incident because it will take the grass longer to grow back.
Catching the culprits won’t make that grass grow back any quicker, but it could deter future joyriders. And as far as rewards go, free golf, especially a lot of free golf, is pretty darn appealing. We wish River Bend Golf Course the best with its search—and recovery.
Another vandal attack on a golf course which grabbed world headlines this year was Dunedoo Golf Club in NSW.
Members of Dunedoo had arrived at the course, an hour east of Dubbo, one morning earlier this year to find about half of the club’s nine fairways and sand greens completely ploughed up by a tractor.
Dunedoo GC is deep into its rebuilding phase.
