"In response, the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) was brought in to conduct a thorough examination.

"After several tense hours of meticulous investigation, the CSI team confirmed that the skeletal hand did not belong to a human. Instead, it was determined to be from an animal of an unknown species.

"This revelation brought a wave of relief to the golf club, as the discovery of human remains could have necessitated extensive and disruptive excavation of the fairway."

The unexpected find has been the talk of the club over the weekend, with relief being expressed that the discovery was not sinister as first thought.

 “It’s not every day you come across something like this on a golf course,” commented golf manager David Hancock. “It certainly added a bit of excitement and mystery to our usual routine.”
