Amy White, president of the Alpine Country Club, told the council the club had suffered significant damage from feral hogs during December and January that displaced collars and greens on six of nine holes and required unplanned labor and materials to repair.

White described monitoring with cameras that showed hogs coming from a creek and rooting the collars and greens, forcing staff to move some pin placements and create temporary holes so tournaments and the high school golf tournament could proceed. The club reported trapping and removing multiple hogs with permission and guidance from the Texas game warden; the game warden confirmed there is no trap-and-release program for feral hogs in the area.

White said the club has resanded collars, used borrowed equipment to flatten and piece the turf back together and has invested unanticipated overtime and materials that have delayed planned projects. She asked for patience from members while seasonal cold slows regrowth and said volunteers and staff including Tony, Everett, Adrian Lucon and Bieber have led repairs. Councilmembers offered to follow up with neighbors experiencing similar hog issues and to seek additional information from other property owners about deterrence methods.

No formal council action was requested; the report was informational.
