Derek, the combination of heat, humidity, and moisture creates what of the most concerns to these superintendents that may not have the same drainage capabilities as a Medina, like an air subsystem of sort?

Yeah, usually our issues are going to be the fairways.

And a lot of these courses are actually part of the overall plan in developing communities.

Golf courses actually are responsible for actually taking on a lot of the excess stormwater during these storms.

So there actually is a design that courses are meant to take this water on.

However, there's always a fairway or two or three that can be beneath water for an extended period of time.
4:43
If that happens and conditions are hot, say 90 degrees or more, that's when things get really nasty really quickly.
