A swastika was discovered carved into the Thames Ditton and Esher Golf Club on February 15, marking an act of vandalism at one of Britain's oldest golf clubs. Surrey Police are investigating the incident, including past damage from dirt bikes. The club has experienced similar attacks and is urging local residents to be vigilant. General manager Mark Rodbard expressed the emotional impact of the vandalism on club members and the broader community. As an incentive for information leading to arrests, the club is offering rewards of free membership or restaurant perks.
Waking up to find our cherished course vandalised has sent shock waves through the club. This mindless vandalism doesn't just affect our golfers, but the thousands of people who walk their dog, or enjoy the common land every week.
We are urging residents to help by remaining vigilant, and any information that helps lead to prosecution will earn a year's free membership or a pizza a month at the club house restaurant as a thank you.
