Biblical Rains: Situation Not Too Horrible In South Carolina?

Jason Scott Deegan has an update from folks on the ground in South Carolina following recent rains measured at as much as 17 and 21 inches near key Low Country destinations.

Deegan writes:

It’s likely many courses will be cart path only until they dry out further. There will also be issues with standing water in low spots and in bunkers at some courses. Few facilities, however, suffered any significant damage. King’s North Course at Myrtle Beach National will be closed for several extra days to repair a washed out section of cart path, according to the Sun News.

Golden said he won’t know the economic impact of the storm for several weeks. A lot of it depends how quickly golfers come back. After a wet spring, area operators were hoping for a strong fall to make up for that shortcoming.

"I have been here 20 years," Golden said. "It was similar to Hurricane Floyd (1999) in terms of water. I’ve heard comments regarding (this being) a thousand-year storm. That is what this was being compared to. It seems to be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.”
