Augusta National: No Damage From Sally Remnants, Overseed On Schedule
/
While the rescheduled U.S. Open played out last week in New York, hurricane Sally made landfall and then hit Augusta, Georgia, home to the Masters this November.
A whopping 4-7 inches of rain in just under 12 hours and despite rumblings of possible, a club official says the course suffered no damage. The fall overseed of ryegrass remains on schedule.
The above photo posted September 24th to Eureka Earth’s Instagram account shows the course in a shaved down appearance with “50 days to the Masters 2020.”
In Augusta, the account also posted this image of the area behind Amen Corner. A new road has been installed on property purchased from Augusta Country Club and a distinct arc in the road provides room to length the par-5 13th hole to offset the impacts of Peloton and Whoop bands.
