The course in Putnam Township, Mich. resumed operations this week after it was shut down from June 16 through 19 to fix the damage caused by a hailstorm June 15. During this four-day period, groundskeepers removed tree debris and repaired divots left on the course’s greens, fairways, and sand traps.

Timber Trace Golf Club in Putnam Township, Mich. reopened on June 20 after crews worked to repair the damages left by last week’s hailstorm, WHMI reported.

According to social media, Timber Trace Golf Club was closed from June 16 through June 19 so groundskeepers could remove excessive tree debris and repair divots left on the course’s greens, fairways, and sand traps.

The damages were caused by golf-ball-sized hail pellets, high winds, and heavy rain that fell during the late afternoon of June 15, WHMI reported.

Timber Trace Golf Club is located about three miles west of downtown Pinckney, Mich.

The hailstorm impacted all of southeast Michigan, WHMI reported.

Some hailstones were reportedly 2 inches in diameter and fell in the areas of Pinckney and Gregory.

Director of Golf, Clif McLellan, told WILX Lansing that the most noticeable damages were to the course’s greens.

“If you looked at the trees during the storm, it felt like Jurassic Park with a T-Rex coming through the woods. And it was from the hail hitting the leaves and just spreading them everywhere,” McLellan said.

McLellon said the sheer number of divots in the ground left Timber Trace unplayable following the storm.

“It looked like 50,000 golf balls hit the green at the same time and no one fixed the marks,” McLellan said.

A grounds crew worked around the clock to clean up the course, according to Timber Trace Golf Club’s Facebook page.

In order to fix the greens, groundskeepers aerated the ground, watered the grass, rolled out the greens, and added sand to all 18 holes, WHMI reported.
