NATCHEZ, Miss. — Vandals tore through Duncan Park Golf Course Thursday night, destroying the 18th green and disgusting city officials and frequent golfers.
Duncan Park Golf Course Superintendent Greg Brooking said Friday this is the second time in almost two years the 18th green has been vandalized.
“These people dug into the soil a foot and a half to two feet deep across the green,” Brooking said. “They basically destroyed the green.”
Brooking estimates repairs will cost $10,000, and the 18th green won’t likely be in play until next year.
Two other greens will be open for play next month after vandals sprayed herbicide on the golf course less than one year ago.
Brooking said the golf course is open to all, but he is considering permanently barring the vandal or vandals if they are found.
