Golf Course Security ...

[Twire]

Me & my son got a load of aggro from a group of 4 young girls last night, the eldest cant have been more than 8 and the youngest was about 3 or 4 tops!!!

We were finishing the 16th when they appeared from some trees armed with a load of daffodils and proceeded to walk across the fairway as i lined up my approach (my approach was a corker by the way lol), anyway is houted at them to move and they toddled off in the direction of the 17th tee.

Me and my son get to the green and here they are pulling the tee markers out of the ground and chucking them about, so again i shout and these young girls proceed to tell me to f*** **f etc etc

They then follow us down the 17th & 18th, running after our balls and stuff, swearing, spitting, nicking the flags from the 17th green and the 1st green in the process and generally being little b******s, their parents must be so proud!

Keef, you've just reminded me why I moved to a sleepy little village in Devon.

We have no trouble here. There are public footpaths running through the course, with dog walkers and such roaming through. We have towels on all the ball cleaning stands, and they never get knicked.

You have no idea how lucky you are!!

My local track is flanked by one of the worst estates in Leeds, its not as bad as it used to be...there used to be lads going up & down the fairways & greens on motorbikes and burnt out cars all over. Now its just very occasional gangs of chavs nicking the flags and tee markers.

To be fair, i've played there a lot and its the first time i've ever had any bother.

My club got robbed twice in the last couple of months. On the first occasion they robbed a very good flat-screen tv and a large sum of money.
One the second occasion the only thing they robbed some pre-packed sandwiches, and that was it! Window was smashed in and the windows are pretty god damn hard!!! Both of them happened in the middle of the night too!

Our club though have been brave enough to get a new tv last week and it was better than the previous one yet I dont see the security has been tightened up. The only thing we would have for security would be shutters, a simple enough alarm, two security cameras and a security light...the ones with motion sensors.
