A handful of greens were reportedly damaged overnight at Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla., which is the host of this week’s Constellation Furyk & Friends, a PGA Tour Champions event hosted by Jim Furyk.
Casey Bannon of The Golfer’s Journal tweeted the news, along with pictures, saying four of the greens were damaged, although it’s unclear how. He added that the agronomy team from nearby TPC Sawgrass was helping out.
The event’s media relations team has yet to respond to GOLF.com’s request for more details (and a pro shop attendant said they are not commenting on it right now), but there seems to be some good news here. A few photos are floating around social media that prove some of the greens (if not all) are already repaired and look much better than they did in the original pictures. (These maintenance crews are pros, folks.)
The Furyk & Friends begins on Friday. Seventy-eight players are in the field, including Furyk, Bernhard Langer, Steve Stricker and Ernie Els. You can watch it from 2-4 p.m. ET on Friday and Saturday on Golf Channel, and the final round will be broadcast on tape delay from 9:30-11:30 p.m. on Sunday on Golf Channel.
