Hurricane Helene takes down trees at Augusta National?

[Ben Hollerbach]

There is a rumor that a sizable number of trees were knocked down across the course due to Helene. Does anyone know more?

The damage in and near Augusta, GA is serious.  Many homes and cars destroyed by downed trees.  I have no specific knowledge of what is going on at ANGC, but based on what i have seen from elsewhere in the city, I have no doubt they will have quite a few trees down.  Many areas in the Southeast are dealing with catastrophic conditions.

Pales in comparison to the 20 or more deaths reported so far.    Since the topic has been breached, how did Cabot hold out?

My sisters in-laws are in Saluda SC. No power, a lot of trees down. I’ve been thru two, Irma and Ian since I bought my place in Florida. It’s an annual shit show it you live on the gulf coast.

That update shares no information about ANGC and any damage.  In addition to tree loss, the main area of concern would be greens on 11,12,13,15,16.

Found this, appears Magnolia Lane has damage

Have seen a grainy drone shot from Augusta CC side that clearly shows Rae's Creek flooding near 12 green. 11 green is visible. 12 green is hard to tell because of the trees but appears under water.
