Public Service Announcement

The Butler Country Club had some damage to #9 green yesterday. Had 2 big chunks taking out of the green and 2 big divots on the fringe. It appeared a club was used. If anyone saw anyone out there yesterday after 5:30 please let me know.

Any members that take a guest or have family members that play by themselves please encourage them to take care of our course.

It appears they take a club and tried to just hit the ball towards their cart when they are done and take a big chunk out of the green.
