Police in Rhode Island asking golfers to stop breaking windows at monastery

The police posted images of the damage on Facebook.

A golfer – or golfers – in Cumberland, Rhode Island, is smashing golf balls through windows at a monastery, and police there are looking to put an end to it.

“In the past two weeks, including as recently as last evening (Tuesday 7/25), a person or persons have been working on their golf game and caused damage to a town building at the monastery,” says a recent Facebook post on the police department’s official page.

The police also posted a few photos showing the punched holes. The department is asking for those responsible to turn themselves in but in the unlikely chance of that, officials there are reminding people there are plenty of other places for golfers to work on their games.

As a general reminder, golfing is a prohibited activity at all town-owned parks and playground areas including the monastery grounds. There are plenty of local driving ranges around the area, but the monastery grounds are not one of them.
