Lightning Strike
Lightning Strike at the Course
The course was struck by lightning at approximately 3:30 am on Sunday, Sep 17th.  What was first thought to be vandalism, then a water line break, was then determined to be a lightning strike.
No one was injured during this incident.  There was some concrete and debris discharged out toward Hole 9’s green, power loss, and some minor electrical repair to be done on the course.  This was also the reason the phones have been off for the last 48 hours.  Phones have since been restored and we are business as usual.
