Hungry javelinas plague prestigious Arizona golf course with oversized divots

Groundskeepers resort to covering course with chilli oil to discourage the herbivores, which are native to the south-west

With no respect for etiquette on the fairways, let alone a dress code, a group of scruffy porcine invaders has left a trail of devastation across a prestigious Arizona golf course hailed among the country's finest.

Greenkeepers at the picturesque Seven Canyons Golf Club in Sedona have posted to social media videos of the destruction wrought by the marauding pack of javelinas, also known as collared peccaries, which has dug up large areas of the course.
