    Turns out it was relatively tame and well known on the course, being fed regularly by players.

    Not me. I would never lower myself to something so base and depraved as joining a golf club.

    OK own up, which one of you is this??

    A CRUEL golfer has been fined £750 and banned from his local club after battering a fox with his driving iron – because it was trying to steal his chocolate biscuit.

    Donald Forbes became enraged when he caught the animal trying to snatch the Tunnocks Wafer from his golf bag.

    The 55-year-old ran at the fox screaming and struck it on the head with his club.

    Forbes, a self-employed contract consultant in the oil industry, lives close to the plush Peterculter Golf Club, in Aberdeen, where he’s been a member for 12 years.

    On September 10 last year he was playing with friend Graham Duthie, also 55, when they saw the fox.

    Forbes, told the city’s sheriff court: “The fox was attacking my bag.

    “It was an instinctive reaction. I felt threatened and angry.”

    He said that another player then found the severely injured fox and killed it using a wooden chair.

    Forbes was suspended from the golf club.

    John Robins of Animal Concern said: “Golf is an expensive game and I would imagine this is not a large sum of money for this man. He should have been made an example of.”
