Well stated.

Florida has been lucky SO FAR, due to the eye staying off of the coast further than feared. Let's hope the same continues as it gets up to Georgia/SC/NC.

Regardless if we had nothing more than a heavy thunderstorm occur here, just the wind/rain right now in TV means very few, if any, golfers would be out right now.

So the decision of closing all courses and letting employees be with their families and homes...was a wise one.
