Storm Damage to Turf


There are obviously a few turf areas on the golf course that suffered damage from fallen trees due to the storm.  Areas like this, on #7, will remain ground under repair for the rest of the season.  Another unfortunate victim of the storm were sod farms in the region.  A lot of times, sod farms are located in flood plains and there are several farms we deal with that lost 100% of their turf.  This is going to make getting sod this winter a little more challenging and expensive. It will need to be brought in from other states who weren't impacted.  Due to lack of access to reasonably priced sod, we can't repair these areas at the present time.  However, when you return next April, you'll never know anything happened here.
