Carts are going this morning!

Although it rained a fair amount yesterday evening, carts will be going this morning.  We really dodged a bullet on this one though.  The thunderstorms were running in a straight line west to east, and we were right on the edge of it.  Talking to other area superintendents this morning shows just how lucky we are.  Here at Calumet we received 0.6" of rain, go two miles south to my house and find 0.7", another mile south of there at Idlewild, they got 0.8", and a little farther south at Prestwicke CC they got 1.1".  The real whopper that really shows how lucky we are is Lincolnshire CC, pretty much straight south of here, received 3 inches of rain!

That being said, the course is still very wet as we now have received 3.25 inches of rain in the last week.  So please be very careful with your carts.  We will try to rope of some of the worst areas, but please pay attention to where you are driving and keep your cart on the cart paths where there is one available!
