Vandals are being blamed for attacking the putting greens of the Wairakei International Golf Course, forcing its closure till spring.
According to the club's website it was voted as the best in the country following a survey by Golf Update in 2010.

said the damage was significantly impacting the condition of playing surfaces.
The damage started to become apparent during Easter weekend.
"Extensive soil and foliar tests conducted by the NZ Turf Institute have returned clear results," Wairakei International Golf Course said.
