Mindless vandals have used a vehicle to churn up one of the fairways at The Leisure Lakes Golf Academy in Mere Brow.
A posting on Facebook from the Academy says...
'So you spend all day on the golf course every day since closing, ensuring that all essential maintenance is taken care of, in order to present the best possible facility for our users when we re-open, and someone thinks this is a fun idea. Not only is this moronic at the best of times, to do it in view of staff working on the course requires a different level of idiocy.
With 12 weeks of closures (most of which in peak golfing season) 2020, as for most, has been a tough year. Despite its challenges, staff have worked tirelessly (often behind the scenes) to deliver a quality environment for everyone to enjoy golf.
We must admit that for someone to show such a low level of respect for that work, it stings. Rest assured though, it will get repaired (3 and a half more weeks closed has some benefits), along with all of the other work that normally disrupts the playability of the course this time of year, meaning nothing to get in the way of welcoming golfers back in December!
Somewhat annoyingly, if the course wasn’t so dry, they may have gotten stuck. Can’t have it all ways I guess!'
Hope they catch and prosecute the culprits on their CCTV Cameras they have there,what must be going through any persons brain to do damage like this ? It takes a lot of time and effort from the groundsman and staff to make this course playable at all times,and yet brainless morons think it is fun to spoil other peoples enjoyment by driving their vehicles,bikes etc,and causing severe damage to the fairways of a golf course....Just beggars belief as to why they can do this for fun ?

Says 'a vehicle', i.e. only one vehicle involved.....so why bring bikes into this?
Pound to a penny it's down to a 'brainless moron' of a motorist in a four-wheel drive!

The tyre tracks are definitely from a vehicle with 4 wheels. If these idiots are more than happy destroying the tracks and trails of the Lake District it won’t put them off ruining a golf course.

Yes I did mean bikes,but missed the word "Quad" in my previous reply,as there are a few Quad bikes stored on the Leisure Lakes site,which are hired to be used on the offroad area opposite the Frontier Bar,and definitely NOT for using on the Golf course...Someone could have accidently left a Quad bike out,and then someone has managed to start the engine,and then recklessly driven over the fairways at the golf academy ?

That sounds more feasible - in which case, these idiots must live in the area. Youths dressed in black with hoodies, all looking gormless. Should be easy enough to find.
