Poor weather conditions are keeping golfers off the greens at Somerset (Pa.) Country Club, which has shut down hole No. 4 due to flooding. The golf course at Hidden Valley (Pa.) Resort has reportedly lost 300 rounds of golf during the month of June as a result of rain.

Snowmobilers that have ridden over the greens may lead to the property being declared off limits for sled riders, too.

Wildly fluctuating gas prices have forced golf course superintendents to implement simple, yet creative, new ways to conserve energy.
