Seems that someone has been spreading false news about Reading and someone has done this

That's why you should never use your wedge in on the green

Looks like badger damage to me.

That’s harsh, as he played quite well at forest pines

Is that really a green? Looks like astroturf?

I think it is something LP picked up on Reading Golf Clubs Twitter feed? https://twitter.com/ReadingGC?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
There is one comment about selling the club, but nothing really confirming what the fake news has been or not.

It’s all to do with the selling of the club
It’s not badger damage

What's wrong with some people? Why would you do that?

That type of targeted damage is usually down to a unhappy "ex" member. The thing is it hurts the members more than the club

Not sure its a disgruntled ex as the vote to sell was conclusive and they are getting a decent payoff and a ready built facility at Caversham

How would you do that?
Badgers roll up the turf. To do that manually, is pretty hard. To do it with that level of consistency?
Nah, it is badgers.

It’s not badgers - the cut is too clean and sharp , the greenkeepers know when it’s not badgers. And it’s also very rare that badgers go at greens - it’s more fairways , plus it’s too late in the year now for them to be hunting for the bugs.
Maybe the badgers raided the green keepers shed beforehand and went tooled up

Yes, it’s all been signed off. There’s a migration programme under way currently.

Are they taking over CH, or just becoming members there? Played there a few times last year and it was always quiet, CH that is.
Having read through twitter I reckon it’s a current member. I’d maybe keep an eye on those who voted against the sale.

They are taking it over and the memberships are merging under the name of Reading I believe. This would be Reading's second wholesale move as the club was originally in Tilehurst but moved a very long time ago.
It's a shame as I have played Reading many times and always enjoy it. I know many members there and I will miss its passing.
Several other clubs in the area all going too to make way for housing developments. Maidenhead and Basingstoke both really nice tracks.
