Campbell EODs remove golf course rocket

JACKSON, Tenn. — A man working on a bulldozer discovered a live military ordnance on a golf course in Jackson.

Freddie McGee described the device as an old military-type rocket that looked like something you’d see in a war movie.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Department said the rocket was removed from the Hidden Valley Golf Course by a bomb disposal team from Fort Campbell, Ky.

It was taken to a farm where it was destroyed.

The bomb, which McGee said was about 3 feet long and weighed about 20 pounds, was thought to have been built in the late 1960s or early ’70s.

Authorities are investigating how it got on the golf course.
