'This hole drinks 277,000 litres of water a day.
Do you drink that much?']

Just criminal vandals. Just give them 10 years in prison and it might make them grow up.

They are protesting against unjust water bans, I thought you'd be for that?

You can protest without resorting to vandalising the publics things. Who are they protesting against, the public?

What is putting cement into golf holes gonna achieve expect spoil the publics recreation?

criminal damage is not protesting

:facepalm:

Well it's brought more eyes to the situation than if they'd have just whinged behind their keyboards about it.

I imagine many will see this statistic and question why they shouldn't water their garden tonight.

we need water to survive so its a pretty important resource so i have more sympathy for people complaining about misuse watering golf courses

Bots is sneaking ever so close to joining my Marxist revolution :smug:

You need water to knock up a bit of Pug, just saying.

I was wondering about the football clubs if any hosepipe ban came in to force in england.

we all have

just not kids doing criminal damage

kids with no property, no business, no dependents

bragging on social media

That claim makes zero sense

I am biased as a golfer but if clubs can't water their greens then it will go a long way to spoiling the course at what is their peak season

Peoples private gardens being a bit brown for a few weeks is not as important
