TOWN OF LOCKPORT — The 9th green at Gothic Hill Golf Course suffered $3,000 in damages after two males reportedly took a golf cart on a joyride on Saturday.
According to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office report, the owner of the course tracked down the two juvenile males on a four-wheeler as they were driving the cart. He "got the males to stop and the cart was brought back to the clubhouse."
When NCSO arrived, they found the damage on the green consisting of tire marks and some grass removal which was caused when the cart drove circles around the flag of the green. Patrol was told that the males were attending a function at the location and that he would get the males so that Patrol would not disturb the function, however, one of the males had fled and was later found on the floor of the backseat of a nearby vehicle.
The male admitted to patrol that he and his brother had taken the carts for a ride around the course after having seen others do the same. He denied, however, that they had done "donuts" on the green, as had been reported.
The golf course owner told patrol that he hadn't specifically seen the two males on the 9th green, but he had spoken with others who had. Patrol told him that if someone else signed a deposition stating they had seen the males damage the course, charges could be brought.
The two males were asked to leave. No charges were filed.
