For 100 years, Bacon Park Golf Course has been more than a place to play. It has been a gathering place, a community institution and a part of Savannah’s story.

City leaders, neighbors, golfers and friends recently came together to celebrate Savannah’s only municipal golf course’s centennial and honor the generations who helped shape its legacy.

The celebration also recognized the late Willis “Shorty” Cooper, a beloved part of the Bacon Park family for nearly five decades. The inaugural Shorty Cooper Award was presented to Chip Chambers, honoring the same spirit of friendship, service and love for Bacon Park that Shorty represented.

We also thank O.C. Welch and O.C. Welch Golf Properties for their continued stewardship of the course and commitment to preserving its legacy for future generations.

Here’s to 100 years of history, community and memories at Bacon Park. ⛳

🌧️ Rain coming down? Slow down, Savannah.

With periods of heavy rainfall in our area this week and hurricane season still underway, we’re reminding residents to stay weather-aware and take a few simple steps to help keep themselves, their neighbors and our community safe.

🌧️ Slow down in the rain. Wet roads can reduce traction and visibility, so give yourself extra time and space to stop.

🚗 Never drive through flooded streets. It can be difficult to tell how deep the water is or whether the roadway underneath has been damaged. Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

🚧 Respect barricades and road closures. Never drive around barriers placed near flooded or unsafe roadways.

💧 Watch for standing water. Low-lying areas and streets can flood quickly during periods of heavy rainfall.

🏡 Put your rain barrel to work! If you have a rain barrel, make sure it is properly installed and ready to collect rainfall from your roof. Rain barrels can help capture stormwater and reduce runoff around your property. If your barrel is full before a storm, consider using the stored water for your lawn or plants to make room for more rainfall.

Want to learn more about rain barrels and how to receive one? Visit waterconnectsusall.com

📱 Stay informed. Keep an eye on local forecasts and official City updates, and sign up for RAVE Alerts. Text SAVAlerts to 67283 to receive important emergency notifications and updates directly to your phone.

🌀 Hurricane season isn’t over yet. Now is still a good time to review your household emergency plan and make sure you’re prepared if conditions change.

When the rain comes down, take it slow, stay alert and do your part to help keep Savannah safe and storm-ready.
