6:30 am Nov 1
I want to throw out a quick post to update you before the
staff heads back out onto the course to continue the storm cleanup.
Overall we were very lucky with no major damages. The entire course is littered with leaves and
branches which are taking a great effort to clean up. Three trees came down –
one each on 12 and 13 tees, and another on the 7th forward tee. The
3 to 4 tunnel had about three feet of water in it that needed pumped out.
The 9th green and surrounding area was flooded by
the wetlands behind it. The 12th tee area and the beginning of the
12th fairway flooded from the adjacent wetlands that run beside it.
The wedding garden and the lower practice putting green were also flooded with
salt water. We will be treating theses areas with gypsum to help leach the
salts from the soils, but will need irrigation to flush it out, and for the
time being, the electric at the pumphouse is “out”. As soon as we get the pumps
up and running we will be able to address the salt issue.
Our staff is being supplemented and aided by staff from the
bagdrop/ proshop and clubhouse.
