Replacement component

South Florida Thunderstorms
The weather pattern over the last 2 weeks has delivered several severe thunderstorms. During two of these thunderstorms, lightening strikes have been of major concern and caused damage. The lightening traveled through our irrigation system causing significant damage to multiple components in multiple locations. We completely rebuilt the Irrigation satellite box on #10 and replaced several major components in multiple boxes throughout the remainder of the course. Repair costs are in excess of $5,000. We are fortunate to have an excellent Toro Irrigation Service Center (Hector Turf) that supported our efforts on-site twice this week. Currently, the system is operating 100%.
