Wow! Another northeaster! The storm began on Friday and continually intensified, peaking and unleashing angry torrents on Saturday afternoon. Winds reached a steady 30mph and gusted up to 55 mph. The rain came slanted, like a fusillade. The storm quieted with the darkness of Saturday evening, but rain still came and went through Sunday and Monday as the low rotated off the coast. The pattern of powerful, wet weather just continues. It seems relentless.
We received 3.8” of rain since Friday, March 12, when this storm began, along with hail that came with a Sunday morning line of thunderstorms. The rains washed out the drain that we were working on at the driving range, and the winds downed the giant oak that stood to the left of the forward tee on #5, a Jersey pine at the beginning of 12 fairway, and an older Jersey pine that guarded the lower tee on #3. More branches were stripped from trees throughout the course. A sinkhole developed in 10 fairway that is a few feet round and just as deep. We also lost power to the pump house. I could go on.
Needless to say, our staff is concentrating efforts to clean up; including all the damage we still have left to finish from the February blizzards.
