| There will be no carts today, but rowboat shuttles are running from 4 Tee to 4 Green! |
That picture just about says it all. Starting at about 2:00 in the the morning last night the golf course got hammered with rain until about 9:30 this morning. All in all we received 3.25" of rain, and obviously the course is pretty much flooded. If you haven't already heard, the Member-Guest event that was scheduled to be played tomorrow is cancelled and will be played on July 22nd instead. Hopefully everyone that was signed up to play can make it to the new date.
I took a walk onto the course as the rain subsided and took some pictures. I will let them do the talking.

| I know that I have short legs, but water up to my knees is still pretty deep! |

The only silver lining to this situation is that the hot weather is not supposed to be coming back for awhile. If we had this much standing water with high temperatures our turf would be in great danger. You all saw last year what can happen to grass when standing water and heat combine, and I know that none of us want to see that again anytime soon.
It will be interesting to see how quickly all this water goes down. The weather forecast calls for more rain tonight and tomorrow morning, hopefully we don't get much out of that because the weekend is supposed to be nice. I will keep the blog updated with information about how the course is drying out, so be sure to check here for the latest information about the course conditions.
