| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the recovery of Indooroopilly Golf Club near Brisbane, Australia following the 2011 Queensland floods. Interviews the course's superintendent, Charlie Giffard, noting that the course's couchgrass proved remarkably resilient and grew in without any major issues due to its pre-storm health and strong root system. Reports that "with silt and sand deposits up to 600mm [millimeters] in parts, Giffard has been much more aggressive with his aerating and topdressing practices." Details measures taken to safeguard against future floods such as the irrigation control panel being made removable and housed above flood level, and estimates that the final cost for all damage recovery and renovation amounted to about 1.25 million dollars. Briefly discusses a similar situation at Brisbane Golf Club, mentioning that "Brisbane was inundated more as a result of backflow from the two creeks which flow through the course, meaning a gradual rise and fall of water." |
