Four holes at the Timuquana Country Club golf course were vandalized overnight late Wednesday or early Thursday, just a day before the Constellation Furyk & Friends tournament, briefly throwing the major charity event into jeopardy.
“There [were] a number of holes that were dug, looks like maybe possibly a shovel. There might have been as many as 10 holes and in four different greens. So 40, maybe 40, possibly all together,” said PGA golfer and tournament host Jim Furyk. “I didn’t count them. But it was a lot of damage.”However, crews were quick to mobilize and fix the issue, repairing the greens in time for tee time on Friday morning.
“They got right to work on the damage, called in some help from TPC and the agronomy team with the PGA Tour, and also from the Cure at Golf, a construction company that did a renovation here at Timuquana,” Furyk said. “So, we’ve got all hands on deck.”Miller Brady, the president of the PGA Champions Tour, also told Action News Jax that overnight security will now be ramped up as a result of the incident.
“There’s security on site throughout the night. Unfortunately, these folks, you know, bypass the security that were here. We’re gonna ramp up security for the rest of the weekend,” Brady said.Overnight, the course at Timuquana Country Club was vandalized and four greens were damaged. PGA TOUR Champions rules and competitions have been working with the tournament team and Timuquana Country Club staff to repair the damages to the course.
