Major Rain Event

Drainage ditches overflowing left of #1 green

Preparations for reopening were interrupted by three consecutive days of rains. Total rainfall of 4.5" was recorded this past weekend and over 8" since August 22nd. The heavy rain caused washouts in bunkers as well as washed newly laid mulch and created lots of leaves and debris throughout the course.

More importantly it caused a flush of growth and coupled with delaying our mowing cycles, there is now a lot of scalping of turf on greens, tees, fairways and in the rough. All of this will grow out of course but will certainly impact the aesthetics of the course in the near term.
