Investigations into the incident at the Middlemount Golf and Country Club are continuing.

Club president Sydney Mills previously told the Daily Mercury he was devastated after watching Snapchat videos of the alleged incident in which a flock of geese were run down, killing one.

The footage allegedly also showed the golf carts being used to do doughnuts in the grass.
