What a Storm!!

The golf course sustained 4.75 inches of rain over 48 hours! The winds knocked a great deal of the leaves out of the trees. Oh, it also knocked down a few trees, too! We have roughly 10 trees down through out the property. Some are along fence lines on Steel Road, Edmounds Avenue and Township Line. Others around tees and greens. Some parts of the black and cyclone fences will need to be replaced. None of the greens, tees or fairways were damaged. The construction on #9 green held up great. We are planning to have our arborist out starting on Monday. We have to wait that long for the course to be dry enough to accommodate the tree trucks. The course will be open for play after 12 noon tomorrow. The carts will only go out if the course continues to dry out over night. I will be adding another update tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. We lost power at the Grounds Maintenance Facility (not restored) and back at my house (just restored). Most importantly, I hope everyone and their families made safe out of the hurricane.

With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.
