Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy roared through Potowomut on Monday but damage was minimal. Beside from the billion or so leaves left in her wake, only one significant tree was damaged, a maple located left of 10 green. Unfortunately, half of this tree fell on the ninth tee which sustained minor damage. The tee will be repaired by our crew soon. The "other half" of this silver maple will be removed because the remaining tree's weight now leans precariously to one side.

Our hard working staff has worked to clean away storm debris since Tuesday morning. Where leaves, sticks and branches littered 100% of the golf course then, we are now working quickly to return to pre-Sandy condition. Numerous leaf piles have been created by our crew and these will be picked up as soon as possible. Sticks and branches that are being taken off the golf course are being stored in our parking area and will be chipped up at a later date.

Overall, we are very lucky here at the golf course. We know of many friends, family and neighbors who are truly suffering in Sandy's wake. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them during this difficult time.

We hope to see you on the golf course soon.
