| Abstract/Contents: | Interviews Tony Richards, superintendent of Jindalee Golf Club in Brisbane, regarding how the club recovered from the massive flood damage sustained by the course in January 2011. Reports that in the aftermath of the flood, "the club was able to secure a significantly discounted five year lease deal from John Deere's Queensland distributor." Explains that the 160,000 dollars worth of machinery includes a tractor, bunker rake, rough mower, surrounds mower, and greens mower. Briefly discusses the renovations of neighboring McLeod Country Golf Club and provides testimony from superintendent Peter Daly. Notes that the flood "laid waste to the club's irrigation system with both the old and new pump systems going under and ruining all the prep work for the second stage of an irrigation system upgrade." |
