“The fire is heading towards the 12th hole here at Wentworth on the West Course.

“The one good thing is that a golf course does have irrigation systems and sprinklers in place, so they can put out the fire.

“They think it might be skirting up the perimeter of the course but they are not anticipating it being too big a problem.

“The fire service are on the scene as are the police.”
