Major Hail Damage

So you want to be a Golf Course Manager?  June in Texas.  A hailstorm stops play at the Texas State Amateur Tournament in Dallas, Texas.   What would you do?  What are your options?


I assume the tournament is over.  There is no way to immediately repair the greens.  This happened to me early in my career in Texas but not during an important event.  I immediately aerified and topdressed the greens.  Some of the larger hail damaged areas may have to require some hand repair.
