Golf Course Update May 28th 2011 (1:30pm)
Flood Update
The flood waters have receded significantly over night and we are now simultaneously working on damage assessment and have began the repair process. The entire staff of 50 plus are bringing in sand bags, repairing bunkers that have washed out and picking up debris that has accumulated from rivers running through the golf course. We also have contractors mobilizing to assist in repairs to eroded and damaged cart paths cart paths , culverts and creek banks that is prohibiting the golf course from re opening.
The goal is to get the golf course open as soon as possible. The practice facilities are now open, the back nine Raven and the old Hawk nine will open as nine hole golf course today at 1pm. The goal will be to open the Raven 18 tomorrow morning and we hope to have more information later today about timing for re opening the entire Hawk GC. The limiting factor is going to be repairs to culverts and cart aths that were washed out during the flood.
After 4" of rain in the past two days the golf course is extremely wet. The soil will remain saturated for many days to come and the hill sides are supercharged with ground water so expect water to run and seep for some time. Staff will be unable to mow turf on fairways, rough and tees for a few days, so turf will be long until equipment can get out there without causing damage.
Although the ground is saturated, staff will resume sodding Raven rough areas on Sunday.
Check the members log in page on the PG web site for tee time status updates at 4pm today.
