States that repairs included "[rewiring] the irrigation pump motors that had been submerges"; "[buying] replacement equipment, as all the existing machinery had been destroyed"; "[repairing] and/or [replacing] any bridges that were not repairable"; "[upgrading] the irrigation system on 10 holes from a quick coupler system to a manual valve system"; "[repairing/rebuilding] tees, fairways, bunkers and greens that had been destroyed"; "[repairing] the drink huts that been damaged"; and "[replacing] all the golf accessories as they had been washed away."
