Driver caught wrecking golf course as he gets Skoda stuck on 17th hole

A driver was caught wrecking a golf course in his car when he got stuck on the 17th hole.

The club has since issued a warning after the Skoda was seen driving across the course and damaging it for a second time on Monday. Hesketh Golf Club in Southport has sent an email to members, which the ECHO has now seen, which referenced "light damage" done to the 6th green earlier in November but went into detail about more significant damage which was done to the 17th green, 17th fairway and 18th tee.

The email, sent out on Monday, November 21, said: "On both occasions, a male member of the public driving an unregistered left-hand drive silver Skoda estate car entered the course and caused damage with his vehicle. Today, however, he got his vehicle stuck on the 17th hole, meaning we were able to contact the police whilst he was still on site."
