Words: Tim Southwell Photography: The Goafer
Golf's hard enough without some twerp blowing you up halfway round. So members of Foxtail Golf Club in California will be relieved to know that a 49 year old man has been arrested whilst attempting just that.
Kevin Hornbuckle, 49, faces possession and manufacturing of a destructive device charges after two bombs were found on the course at the Foxtail Golf Club in Rohnert Park, California, about 50 miles (80 km) north of San Francisco, the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety said in a statement.
Club employees on Saturday found one of the explosive devices on the 18th hole fairway and took it to the facility's maintenance yard. The golf club was evacuated from the facility before police destroyed the bomb, authorities said.
Authorities said that Hornbuckle told them that the device was an “acid-bomb.”
Club employees told police they also found remnants of a second bomb which appeared to have been detonated at the golf course on Friday night.
