The PGA Tour’s Rocket Mortgage Classic is less than two months away, but recent vandalism has left the host club’s groundskeepers scrambling to fix the damage to the golf course.
According to a report by The Detroit News, two greens, Nos. 11 and 12, on the North Course at Detroit Golf Club, received “significant damage” from vandals in mid-April. Photos of the damage on one of the greens, released by the club’s head superintendent Sam Moynihan, showed wavy lines that were, according to soil testing, the result of an herbicide called glyphosate being sprayed around the putting surface.
