The storm that ripped through West Virginia didn't play favorites. Even America's Resort was hit hard by the weather.
Just one day before the Greenbrier Classic officially gets started, more than 500 volunteers helped clean up the Old White Course in preparations for the event.
Course General Manager Burton Baine says on Monday, patrons won't even know a storm hit the course.
The third-annual Classic runs July 2-8. This is the first year Tiger Woods is in the field. Woods won the AT&T Championship, on Sunday, to move into sole possession of second place on the PGA all-time wins list. Sam Snead is in first place.
The following is a press release from the Greenbrier Classic:
"The storms that have left millions of people without power from Indiana to New Jersey and south through West Virginia to Virginia, took their toll on The Greenbrier Friday night," said Justice. "There were 70 to 80 trees damaged on The Old White Course with more than 200 hit if you include The Meadows and The Greenbrier courses. We have had hundreds of volunteers and tournament vendors working with our staff in the clean up effort as we get ready for The Greenbrier to be thrust onto the national stage for The Greenbrier Classic. It fills me with pride to know that the people of West Virginia are donating their precious time to the tournament, while many of them are without power and dealing with damage of their own."
"The Greenbrier Classic 2012 will start on schedule this Monday and go off without a
hitch," continued Justice. "It's really special to see how everyone has come together over the past 48 hours. While we have a golf tournament to put on, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the wide spread damage and power outages the storms have caused throughout the Virginia's and our beautiful region. We hope that The Greenbrier Classic can help serve as a positive diversion during these difficult times."
