Damage to the 12th green
Last evening, multiple individuals broke a pane of glass out of one of our shop windows and took 3 carts out on property. They stole my digital camera that I use for the blog but left everything else in place. The 3 carts were found out on the course in the area of 3 and 4 where they have been entering the property. They did some damage to our #12 green which you can see in the picture below. The damage should be able to be repaired fairly quickly. The green was aerated yesterday which probably helped to reduce some of the damage due to the heavy application of sand. There were some turn marks on the 2nd and 15th greens but they did not break the turf's surface. Hopefully, we can catch this group of vandals and get this damage stopped.
Maybe worth buying a security camera or having someone hang out on the property at night? This time the damage wasn't bad but the next time could be really nasty...
ReplyDeleteWe have a number of things we will be implementing to reduce our chances of any additional incident. One of the little vandals came back to the scene of the crime on the next day and I just missed capturing him. Thanks for the suggestion.
