| Abstract/Contents: | Provides information on hurricanes, suggesting that "understanding the anatomy and behavior of these devastating storms can help you anticipate potential damage and recovery needs on your golf course." Identifies golf courses that have been affected by devastating hurricanes and tropical storms, including the Quechee Club in Virginia. Includes information on storm strength and the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, tree loss due to tornadoes, and mentions how storm surges often cause the most damage along the "immediate coast." States that "knowing what to expect in terms of a storm's elements and their potential for destruction allows golf course managers to keep staff and golfers safe and informed, monitor at-risk areas, and identify short and long-term improvements that can help minimize damage." |
