Sandy Update

One year to the date and we end up with another freak October storm that has shut down Richter for almost a full week.  We ended up lucky at the course as wind was the main factor that caused damage, only .60" of rain fell and that was a blessing in disguise. Power was restored to the course late Tuesday night and that allowed the Turf Crew along with the Golf Operations crew to start putting everything back together.  Not feeling that we had enough on our plate we also decided to bump up the aeration schedule and complete the greens, allowing us to in a small degree turn lemons into lemonade.  As of today the course is playable, a complete cleanup will take a few weeks to pick up all the fallen trees but some of the pictures below show the course after the storm.
