Bomb discovered on golf course: Greenkeepers unearthed a little surprise on Monday at The Royal Cromer Golf Club, when a bomb was discovered under ground at the seaside golf club in East Anglia.
The bomb was found whilst groundsmen were carrying out work and maintenance between the 7th and 12th fairways around midday Monday 20th July.

After discovering the wartime device, the police and Royal Logistical Corps Bomb Disposal Team were sent to Royal Cromer GC where the bomb was then safely taken to the driving range and detonated at around 4:45pm.
Jamie Collyer, bar manager at the Royal Cromer Golf Club, said: “They were just doing some maintenance work, they were digging and found part of it.
“People on the course, told me [the explosion] was really, really loud,” he said.
Local residents of the Cromer area took to Twitter to ask other members of the public if anyone knew what had happened, after many described hearing a “huge explosion” and “massive boom.”
