Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Kingsway Country Club in Lake Suzy, Florida. Highlights the destruction caused in August 2005 by Hurricane Charlie, stating that "acting more like a large tornado, the storm destroyed the Kingsway clubhouse facilities and conservatively more than 2,000 large trees and many smaller ones as well." Details the renovation that took place after the hurricane, explaining that "restoration of the golf course to its original condition was not really an option." States that "with no stands of trees to define the routing as before, [architect Ron] Garl suggested that the committee consider adopting some design features of notable courses that also didn't have many trees." Mentions the course's use of waste areas, stating that "while the waste areas were a good option and solution for the loss of so many trees, there is a master tree-planting plan to add trees where they make sense and when time and the budget allow." Describes maintenance practices Kingsway Country Club employs, noting that they "make pre-emergent herbicide applications with fertilizer in the early spring and late fall to control weeds." Concludes that "Kingsway Country Club has come a long way since the devastation of Hurricane Charlie to fulfill the vision of a better golf club with the hard work and leadership of a lot of people." |
