To golfers this deliberate infliction of damage on one of the South West’s finest courses was an act of indefensible vandalism.
At least five clubs in the Bath area have already received threatening letters from an anonymous group demanding that they cut their water consumption by a quarter and return 10 per cent of their courses to nature. If they fail to comply, the letter says, they could suffer the same fate as the Park course, which was attacked on the night of March 30.
A well-thought out plan folks. Of course, you do realise that repairing the damage to that green will take considerably more water than the most intensive maintenance would have done all summer. Keep up the good work.
