Vandelinde in golf course shocker

Warwick vice chancellor David Landelinde has unveiled controversial new plans to develop a pitch ‘n’ putt style golf course on campus. The course is rumoured to be constructed over the Easter vacation with the first hole being a long par four down the science concourse. Students will be rewarded for playing the course with bachelors of the Sciences and Arts being awarded for breaking 70 and Phd’s for a hole in one on a tricky par three over the Social Studies building. Vandelinde defended his plans saying “most of the time I’m just sitting in my office twiddling my thumbs. This new venture will keep me busy and help me to meet more students as I will require a caddy.” The plans will involve the closure of the Theatre Studies department to enable a Club House to be constructed but Vandelinde said “it is a price I’m willing to pay for a top class course for the students”.
