A GROUP of youths are thought to be behind vandalism at Elderslie Golf Club.

The gang reportedly dug up and ruined parts of the ground, wrecking golf greens, bunkers and tees.

The course was targeted overnight between Tuesday, July 19 at 3.30pm and Wednesday, July 20 at 6.30am.

Inspector Cassie Glass said: “We suspect youths are responsible for this.

“Gardeners spend a lot of time making the course look nice so it will be time consuming to fix it.

“We are appealing to members of the public to get in touch by calling 101.”
