Long shot, I know, but I serve on the board of directors of a private club which lost its clubhouse in the Sonoma County wildfires.  Wondering if anyone has been through this before and, if so, whether you could reach out to me privately to discuss the process and pitfalls offline.  Thanks!

A clubhouse burned to the ground last winter and is going through rebuilding in our area.
The process is very tedious and long with reaching a settlement with insurance, building design, then construction. Time frame ???

I can only speak from construction experience, pending local contractors availability.
Owners select an Architect and a designer. 4-6 months 
Bids are then quoted from contractor's. 2 months
Construction begins and work is generally completed months after projected timeframe. 16 - 24 months or longer with change orders

Pending details of furnishings needed to purchase. final touches will still be several months after building completion.

Our club just did a remodel and it took 2 years and that's with minor construction.
6 months waiting for furniture order, 3 months waiting for restroom counter tops, paint, wallpaper, flooring, etc

Given the devastation of your area, contractors will be very busy for several years, obtaining a builder will be challenging.
A temporary building may be required for quite some time just to reopen for business.

That what the club that CR talked about did.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
