Irene-Damaged Golf Course Re-Opens in Vermont

Posted: Updated:
ROCHESTER, Vt. -

      (AP) - The golf balls are again flying at a course in central Vermont that was nearly wiped out by floodwaters from Tropical Store Irene.

      When Irene hit last August, floodwaters from the White River destroyed about 15 of the White River Golf Club's 50 acres causing $100,000 in damage and forcing the course to shut down.

      The course re-opened for business on Friday, with six of the nine holes ready for play. Owner Pete McGowan says all nine holes should be open by the end of July.
