A GOLF club has reported cases of people breaching lockdown restrictions by having picnics on the green.
Bishopbriggs Golf Club also said it was “saddened” to see locals abusing the course by playing football, cycling over the greens and tees, allowing children to play in the bunkers and letting their dogs foul.
The club said it had opened up the greens to “promote physical and mental health at this difficult time” while the playing of golf has been restricted.
It did not say whether it had reported any lockdown breaches to police.
A spokesman said: “Those not familiar with golf courses may be unaware of the thousands of pounds members spend preparing greens, tees and bunkers and unaware of the damage that they are causing to the Course.
“We need people to respect the golf course by keeping off all the greens and tees as well as staying out of the bunkers.
“And dog owners, can you please ensure your pet is kept on the leash and all dog fouling is collected and removed.”
