Scottie Scheffler may have overcome the Valhalla arrest incident, but it is not just getting buried that easily. It has been nearly three months since world no. 1 was detained for an hour by the Louisville Police Department, but the incident gained traction once again as another sports star was detained in Miami. Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill was driving to the Hard Rock Stadium, and just a block away from facing the Jacksonville Jaguars, the police detained him for an alleged driving violation. He was released soon after, scoring an 80-yard touchdown, and the Dolphins won.

But just when the sports world got over that news, another was waiting in line, especially for the golf enthusiasts. On early Sunday morning, the iconic Oceanview Golf Course was vandalized by someone. The golf course authorities noted that several masked people came down at the Oceanview Golf Course in Norfolk around 2:00 a.m. The glass on the floor was broken, and the TV was vandalized; in essence, everything was torn down. However, the people did not steal anything from the golf course.

As the day started and the usual golfers came to enjoy the course, they were shown around the club and the damage that was done by the perpetrators. One golfer, named Gus Boubouheropoulos, told Wavy, “I thought it was just in the clubhouse, and then I realized that they also broke the front door to the little dinner shop here, so yeah, it was pretty surprising.”

Another golfer, Mike Kane, noted in surprise that the community around the course has been very nice, and there were rarely any cases like this in the area. “No, we never had any problems with the vehicles or any of that, you see people walking the dog. We just made the comment a few minutes ago that everybody walks their dogs, everybody keeps their yards up. Very nice old community,” said Kane.

Even after the incident, the golf club is moving as usual, and the police have started to investigate the suspects and will be checking the surveillance footage for evidence and identification. There has been a sudden spike in disruptive incidents at the golf course; even the PGA Tour event was not spared.

Six protestors disrupted the Travelers Championship

Two months ago at the TPC River Highlands, Scottie Scheffler, Akshay Bhatia, and Tom Kim were standing to finish the final round. But as they were to continue it, six climate protestors barged on the greens with white and red powder, spraying all around the ground. The security was quick to detain them and remove them from the course.

But the players had to wait a few minutes before the damage on the course could be removed. Eventually, Scheffler and Kim entered into a playoff where the world no. 1 emerged victorious for the sixth time in the 2024 season. The Korean prodigy, though, hinted that the incident had disturbed him and took the meaning of the putt away.

Whereas, Bhatia expressed that he was scared and found the entire incident weird. He was thankful that the police took quick action and the tournament was not vandalized anymore. Although Jay Monahan was criticized a bit by fans for lack of proper security. In the end, the Cromwell Police Department arrested the six protestors and charged them with criminal mischief, criminal trespass, and a breach of peace.

As the crime around golf courses increases, golfers have to be very vigilant and quick to call the police and stay safe!
