Damage From Irene

 Tropical storm Irene has caused severe damage to many large trees throughout the course. Sixteen trees had to be removed as a result of the heavy winds and rain associated with the storm. Utility poles, wires and transformers are still down on the property. Restoration of power has been extremely slow and as of Labor Day power has still not been restored to our clubhouse. The golf course greens were watered using a 300 gallons spray tank until a 400kw generator was located to restore power to the pump station last Saturday morning.
Over 700 man hours by the golf and grounds crew were spent getting the course clean and ready for Club Championships on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  .
