Vandals Cause $75k Worth of Damage to GGP Golf Course

Following that vicious attack on the Golden Gate Park Rose Garden back in August, the Recreation and Parks Department has been hit by another rash of vandalism. This time around a vehicle was used to tear up the fairways and greens of holes 6, 7 and 8 on the Golden Gate Park Gold Course. The much loved and family friendly nine-hole course is mostly maintained by Rec and Park gardener Omar Dudum, which makes this story particularly heartbreaking. The estimated damage totals at least $75,000 and Richmond Station officers have a few leads they're following up on, but in the meantime the public can reach the SFPD's anonymous tipline at (415) 575-4444 or via text message to TIP411.
