The "Perfect" Storm

It never fails. With the second Men's Invitational looming, a large storm cell tracked through the Northville area on the 11th and left a swath of destruction in it's wake. Numerous trees around the course had large limbs knocked to the ground in the 50mph+ winds and two trees were lost (on the 12th and 17th holes). A shocking amount of debris cluttered the greens, tees and fairways making the course unplayable and led to the closing of it on Thursday, the 12th.
The crew was hard pressed, working two 11+ hour days to bring MCC back into some semblance of a golf course. A tip of the hat is in order to all staff members and another one to first tee employees who came out and helped with the clean up.  Due to the storm, the bunker sand project was placed on hold but with the clean up coming to an end, will commence again next week. The following video highlights some of the damage.
