More than six weeks since major flooding inundated much of South
Carolina, golf courses throughout the state are still overcoming the
effects of the copious amounts of water that ran through and/or swamped
them.
Though nearly all of the state’s courses reopened in the first week of October within a few days of the height of the flooding, many are still combating widespread structural and agronomic issues as they attempt to return to expected playing conditions.
The flooding and its aftermath have been well-discussed topics this week at the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association 2015 Conference and Trade Show at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, which runs through Wednesday.
