'Help us to stop bike yobs ruining our golf course'

Club issues plea to council after bid to block riders falls foul of right of way law

A GOLF club is demanding council action to stop yobs churning up its greens and driving members away.

Burslem Club says off-road bikers have caused thousands of pounds of damage after getting on to the course through a right of way off Salkeld Place.

An attempt to block them with scaffolding saw the club ordered to take it down or risk prosecution.

And fed-up club members have been quitting as tyre marks on the green diverted their putts.
