Halloween Safety

The Glen Brook Public Golf Club in Stroud Township is asking the public for help.

Over the past several weeks, dirt bikes have torn up some of their greens.

Those in charge don’t want it to continue but they haven't had any luck in catching the culprits.

Thanks to the beautiful weather— it’s a busy day today at Glen Brook Public Golf Club in Stroud Township. But unfortunately not all of the 18 holes are up to par.
