Surviving Irene







Hurricane Irene rolled into Northeastern PA dumping nearly 4 inches of rain to the golf course. As we surveyed the damage on Monday morning we saw what we expected. The old Bunker were completely washed out and had standing water in almost all the bunkers. A four man crew went out with two machines to repair the bunkers. They were able to push the sand up but the water removal still needs to be performed. As for the new bunkers we had two minor washouts on #7 and #8 that were repaired within minutes. Even after 4 inches of rain and hurricane like conditions the new bunkers performed beautifully and were completely free of water the next morning.
