Man left with serious head injury after getting into argument at golf course

Police say the 49-year-old was involved in an argument with golfers near the 16th green and 17th tee at the Cochrane Castle Golf Club in Johnstone

A MAN suffered a serious head injury after being attacked during an argument at a Renfrewshire golf course.

The 49-year-old was walking his dog at Cochrane Castle Golf Club in Johnson on Sunday at around 5.55pm when the incident happened.

Emergency services were called and the man was taken to Paisley's Royal Alexandra Hospital.

Cops said their investigations had uncovered he had been involved in an argument with a group of golfers near the 16th green and 17th tee of the course.

Detective Sergeant Jason Buxton, of Paisley CID, said it was “imperative we trace whoever is responsible”.

“We believe the area would have been quite busy with golfers and would appeal to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to get in touch,” he said.

“If you were in the area at the time, please think back and get in touch with us if you have any information which may be able to assist our investigation.”

Police said anyone with information should contact officers on 101, quoting incident 2784 of Sunday, May 1.
