Australian course that hosted LIV Golf Adelaide suffered 'excessive' damage: Report

LIV Golf Adelaide drew a massive crowd of 77,000 to The Grange Golf Club course. The tournament was successfully completed last month, with Talor Gooch taking first place. However, several members of the golf club are infuriated by the condition of the course that has suffered excessive damage, according to reports.

Multiple photographs of the golf course covered in beer cans and garbage became viral on the internet weeks after the competition. Famously, Chase Koepka made a hole-in-one on the watering hole (No.12) and was pelted with beer cans from the fans.

The golf course management officials are dissatisfied with the experience of hosting the series and suffering extensive damage that will most likely take more than six months to repair.

According to The Advertiser, an Australian news publication, the Grange Golf Club costs have surpassed $4000 per year, with separate initiation fees of $7500.

Trevor Craig, who has been with The Garage Golf Club for nearly 45 years, emphasized the devastation. According to Golf Digest, he stated:

“We’re not a charity, we’re a private club, and I don’t think we’ve been compensated adequately. We’re going to have a mess for six months and then it’s going to be back again."

However, the club's manager, Barry Linke, told the Advertiser that while he recognizes the harm, he was delighted with the audience's response to LIV Golf Adelaide and will continue to prepare for the tournament's next edition. He stated:

“We have received many emails, letters and phone calls congratulating the club for delivering the event."
