It was a good rain....

The ridge of high pressure that has been pushing most storm activity north of California finally broke, bringing with it our most substantial rain event in the last three years. It was a good, soaking rain with periods of heavy precipitation at times, totalling 5.05" between Wednesday night and Sunday morning. The golf course surface drains fairly well and we hope to allow carts off the paths by the middle/end of the week. Damage was limited to 1 tree behind #11 green, numerous branches and the typical bunker washouts. It sure is nice to finally get some clean water and flush the salts from the rootzone. With the soils being more balanced and warmer weather coming, I expect to see the grass begin to jump. It was a good rain....
