District Tournament relocated due to poor conditions at Cooks Creek
A rainy spring on top of a blazing and dry summer has made golf course conditioning quite the battle for superintendents throughout the Central Ohio area. No course has felt the impacts of the weather this year as much as Ashville’s Cooks Creek Golf Club.
Unfortunately, Cooks Creek could not save the golf course in time for important high school golf play this fall, causing Central District Girls Golf Coaches Association Director Mike Crotty to make changes to the 2019 schedule right in the middle of the season.
The Fall Open, Girls OCC Matches and the Division 1 Girls Central District Tournament on October 1st have been relocated from Cooks Creek to New Albany Links.
“Cooks Creek is unplayable, it would be unfair to the girls to play here, just one round away from State,” Crotty told Cbus Clubhouse.
Photographs sent in to Cbusclubhouse.com showed little grass on the entire property, enormous brown spots on greens, rock-hard fairways and an almost entirely dead driving range.
