GCSAA leaders were expected to be in southwest Florida this week, he said. Spokesman Mike Strauss said the GCSAA is canvassing members to assess the extent of the damage, but the organization was not aware of any injuries to its associates. The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America also is offering aid, with up to $2,000 available per member via the GCSAA Disaster Relief Fund. About 70 PGA members have contacted the association to request assistance, Lofstead said, but that number “is sure to climb as more people get power and start to pay attention to things like this as opposed to cleanup.” Geoff Lofstead, the president of the South Florida PGA Section, said his group was trying to make contact with officials at the 153 clubs that employ PGA members in the three-county area of Charlotte, Lee and Collier most affected by Ian. The PGA of America activated its Hurricane Relief Fund, with up to $10,000 available for members and associates.

Ian left 2.6 million customers powerless as it tore across the peninsula before entering the Atlantic and striking the Carolinas. “Some of our members did not fare as well.”Īt least 119 deaths have been confirmed in Florida after Ian, with its sustained 150-mph winds and heavy rains, shoved a storm surge from the Gulf of Mexico as high as 12 feet. That sentiment about the well-being of staff and members prevailed among officials who spoke with Global Golf Post.ĭavid Kent, the general manager at Crown Colony Golf and Country Club in Fort Myers, said: “I consider our club fortunate,” noting the food-and-beverage operation was close to resuming service. We want to recover and we want to get back to what we were, but we’re more concerned about our members and their homes and how they’re going to rebuild and get back to the island.” That hour, hour-and-a-half reprieve, allowed us not to get the 8, 10 feet of water that our members had in their homes. “I think what saved, to some extent, the part of the island that we’re on, is the eye went directly over the club. “We’re just totally under brush,” DiMarino said via a spotty cell phone connection. He has taken some measure of comfort from the fact that his staff and members reportedly are OK after the deadliest storm to hit Florida in nearly a century. With the causeway to the island breached, DiMarino, the director of golf at The Sanctuary Golf Club, has been shuttling daily from the mainland with colleagues on a club-chartered boat since Ian struck Sept. Surrounded by Hurricane Ian’s destruction on Sanibel Island in southwest Florida, Jimmy DiMarino ponders the massive task that lies ahead. Golf Industry Picks Up Pieces In Southwest Florida
