Helene Golf Course Damage
« on: Yesterday at 09:10:32 AM »
Although a very minor aspect of the tragic consequences of Helene, golf courses have suffered.  Is this report on Augusta National accurate?  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-13902495/Augusta-National-Hurricane-Helene-golf-club-destroyed.html
I'm not sure the Mount Mitchell Golf Course in N.C., where I have a second home, will survive.  One observer says it will not, but it's all too early to know for certain.  Courses all over western N.C. have likely suffered extensive damage, although understandably first focus is on food, water, and getting power and communications back up.

My course in upstate SC has seven holes underwater and trees down everywhere. It will thrive again, but it will take a while.

That photo isn't of the golf course. I'm sure there are trees down everywhere at ANGC, but that's not really a concern for them. They'll just bring in more if they need/want to; it's not like money is an object.

Musgrove Mill or elsewhere?

I've been wondering how bad it is at Musgrove; that course can flood in some places even from regular storms thanks to the river.

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

A thunderstorm moved through Missoula, Montana last month and all the golf courses lost trees. At the Missoula Country Club about 170 trees came down. Irrigation lines were also ripped up. 


It saddens me how much destruction these storms are causing in the South.  And the loss of lives....so so horrible.

Who is it you are suggesting should be "locked up"...??

It's definitely not a photo of the golf course.


I think it is a photo of the surrounding area that they own, though.
