All of us are familiar with the sounds, feelings, and sights of an oncoming storm. While on the golf course, no matter if you’re playing the game or working the course, those warning signs always signify one thing- get to safety and shelter.
Here’s an interesting example of the pure destructive force of Mother Nature. Last Monday evening some storms rolled through our area, and a White Pine in the vacinity of #7 teebox was struck by lightning. While we’ve seen our share of storm damage over the years, we’ve never seen a scene quite like this. Take a look at a few of the pictures we snapped. Due to the widespread area of debris and damage and the fact that we needed to have a tree company come in to take the damaged trees out, we had to close #6 green and #7 middle/ back tees for most of the day.
Here’s the scene:
Overall, the course is looking good. The recent mild June weather has been very nice, and we’re feeling pretty confident going into the hotter summer months. Be sure to ask us any questions you may have.
See you on the course,
The Keepers
