While the visuals from the Black Diamond Golf Course in Ohio were certainly fun for golfers, there was another golf club that was hit by inclement weather and experienced heavy damage to its course.

Last Friday, August 11, the Oakdale Golf Club in Minnesota saw heavy hailstorms, which resulted in its greens getting huge multiple baseball-sized holes.

Not just the golf course but also the cars in the parking lot received severe damage.

In one of the Facebook posts, the club shared the image of the ice stones that hit the greens. In their caption, they wrote:

"As many of you already know, we got hit with a large hail storm late Friday afternoon. The course and club house will be closed at least through Monday for clean up and repair. We will keep you updated as we progress on our clean up efforts."
