For golfers and the followers of the sport, golf courses are indeed very important. And it takes humongous effort and lots and lots of money to build and maintain a golf course. But what if someone ruins it just for mere enjoyment or some crazy fun? Hold your anger before you go on to read the rest of the article.

Well, a similar incident happened at the Delaware Golf Course recently where a bunch of vandals rode up on dirt motorcycles and destroyed the precious course and they are yet to be apprehended. Let’s find out more about this saddening incident.

Delaware golf course got brutally destroyed

This past weekend, a group of vandals broke into the public golf course in Wilmington, Delaware, and destroyed the greens. They entered the beautiful course while riding their $8,000 dirt bikes or ATVs and inflicted a lot of damage on the property.

According to Golf Digest Middle East, these troublemakers came to ride about for entertainment with nothing in their hearts but to do harm. Five individuals were on the property, destroying the fourth green but fortunately for the course a few paying customers managed to capture footage of them. This footage will sure help in finding these hooligans who purposely brought destruction to the course. GDME  shared the news on their Twitter handle with the caption, “Watch: Green at Delaware golf course ruined by group of vandals on dirt bikes”

Normally, these kinds of crimes take place when no one else is on the course but this time it happened during the day, demonstrating that they did it on purpose and without any fear. Rather they wanted to make a point. However, now that authorities have the evidence, it won’t be long before these kids are caught and punished in line with their rowdy act.

Given that in previous instances a penalty was imposed, this time too it can vary from $20,000 to $75,000, depending on how much area of the course has been ruined. Yes, this is not the first time that vandals have destroyed a public golf course. Something similar also happened at another golf course not long ago.

A similar instance when a golf course was ruined by vandals

In April earlier this year, a hooligan drove on into a Virginia golf club and damaged two greens in addition to stealing a flagstick. Golf personnel first became aware of the event when they saw damage to the practice putting green and the No. 9 green. That they were shocked would be an understatement.
