Glencruitten Golf Club in Oban have pleaded for the thief to come forward[/caption]
He will be heading to the Glencruitten Golf Club where his dad is head greenkeeper.
But the club have just launched a probe into a thief who STOLE new turf from the course, which had been delivered to redo the eighth hole.
The first batch of turf had been taken from the delivery point located in the car park to the maintenance area on the course.
But when the greenkeepers returned for the rest, they found that 12 rolls had been stolen.
Speaking to Daily Mail, Club secretary John Tannahill said: “The whole club are disgusted by it and quite concerned that somebody would have the knowledge to try to time it in such a way.
“Given the amount of work the greenkeepers had put into doing it and then having all of that trauma.
“It would have been easy enough to see the delivery arrive. So, it wouldn’t necessarily needed to have been someone who knew it was coming.
“They may just have been someone who’s passing on that road and saw it being delivered and then has gone back on the chance, and found that the car park was empty so were able to go ahead and do it.
The club did appeal for the culprit to come forward and hand themselves in, but nobody came forward.
Tannahill added: “It’s really quite irritating but to be quite honest, I didn’t expect to get a response from it anyway from the individual.
“What I thought I might have got was somebody indicating who it was.
“We have an individual, we know what he’s wearing, we know the colour of the car, but that’s really all we have.
“At this stage now, the turf, if it hasn’t been laid somewhere else, it wouldn’t be of any use to anyone, it doesn’t last that long, when it’s in bales.
“It’s also the largest project that has been undertaken on the course for some years.”
