Another good rain!
















As of 8:00 AM this morning we have received 2.1" of rain in the last 10 hours. We have a river running down #1, #14, #17, etc. Standing water is everywhere. We are checking drains and for downed trees and any other damage.The soil is completely saturated and gives way when walking on slopes. Needless to say, the course is absolutely unplayable and closed for the day.

Getting better!

I took a walk today to see how the course was drying out following this weeks rain. In total we received 1.5" of rain between Tuesday and Wednesday. As of this morning we still have numerous areas that remain really wet. We will restrict all carts to paths today (Friday), but hope to get most, if not all holes open tomorrow. Not only is there potential for tire damage, but we must also consider the fact that we have a lot of young seedlings just starting to grow which are quite delicate and unable to withstand any cart traffic; and the use of carts on soft, wet soil will lead to future compaction issues.
