Can we get a wall? 6 ' 16



Aerial view of  causeway leading to 13th green. 
(Our home  is just off the bottom right of this photo.)
 The 13th hole at Pawley's  Plantation Golf Course is a man-made island which is surrounded by Pawley's Island Marsh.  To reach  the  13th hole you have to cross the marsh via a causeway supported by a sturdy dike..

Causeway before the cable snapped
 Last month a cable which ties together  the pilings  supporting the causeways dike walls  broke , allowing the pilling to collapse,  and tidal flow to erode the soil  below the wall.  .

Sink hole which developed in May
Consequently,, a large sink hole developed near the 13th Tee- off area.

 New sink hole developing in Causeway 
To fix the sink hole , the golf course brought in some massive new  pilings and some heavy duty  equipment with which to move them .  Apparently it was too  much weight  for the causeway to support, because the  wall  next to the cart path has started to collapse, which is creating a second sink  hole in the causeway.  So now there are two repairs needed, not just one, and something tells me this isn't the end of the story. 
 After all, ITS ( It's the South).,
