\u201cSad to see what the guys encountered at 6.30am Sunday morning,\u201d the club said in a statement. \u201cNot the start to the day they wanted or expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2nd hole has been damaged several times this year by bikes but this has taken it to a new level! When I got sent the photo of it in flames, I genuinely thought it was AI and the guys having a laugh, but it was very real.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one at Dalmuir Golf Course can control or prevent this, but yet again, a kick in the teeth for everyone trying so hard to maintain our course to the highest standards they can, and they now have a recovery operation on their hands, which will cause more damage to the surrounding area.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 34-year-old man has been charged in connection with the incident and is due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Thursday.<\/p>\n
