MEMBERS of a golf club have shared their anger after an unexploded Second World War bomb was detonated on the course.
Police were called to a woodland in Eastham on Friday, April 1 following reports of an “unexploded device” which had been found by residents.
The bomb was then removed for safe disposal before being detonated at the recently closed Brackenwood Golf Club in Bebington.
A spokesperson from the club told the Globe: “We believe it was removed from Eastham rake but obviously blowing up a bunker on the first day the course closed wasn't popular at all with Brackenwood Golf Club, its members, or our residents who passionately care about the course.
“The sandbags were not removed but left and one of our brilliant residents removed them for us before we could get there to tidy it up.”
Golf club members took to Brackenwood Golf Club Facebook page to share their anger at the decision after video footage of the explosion was posted online.
One user said: “This is almost unbelievable, absolutely disgraceful.”
Another responded: “I was over there before with the dogs couldn’t believe they had left it looking like that. Not very professional.”
A third wrote: “Absolutely disgusting and so disappointing!”
Merseyside Police have been contacted for a comment.
