Sea water can lead to both erosion and deposits of sand, seaweed and other organics; however, it will not cause a significant failure to any of the key elements of the golf course. In addition, seaside paspalum grasses are genetically engineered to withstand brackish water. Many hurricanes are associated with a significant rain event, bringing as much as 20 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. The rain helps dilute salt spray, and can serve to restore the freshwater lens (ground water) on the island.
