Tom Booth, golf manager for SIV - which owns the club - said: "It is disappointing and disrespectful when a place such as Tapton Park Golf Club, where people come to relax and enjoy a round of golf, is treated like this.

"We'd much rather they enjoyed our facilities - whether it is the golf course, the driving range or the footgolf course - in the proper manner rather than causing needless vandalism.

"However, we have an excellent, hard-working team here who all pulled together and the damage was repaired in time to host one of the club's most important tournaments of the year."
