So far this morning we seemed to have dodged a bullet. We received 1.2" of rain overnight on top of the 0.5" we got yesterday morning, but that is nothing compared to what some areas farther north received. Channel 7 was reporting this morning that O'Hare got 5.5" of rain in 2 hours! There is more rain out to the west that looks like it could hit us, but it's still hard to tell. Most of the rain appears to be headed north, lets hope it stays that way.
All that being said, the course was very dry going into yesterday's rain, so it has soaked up the water fairly well. Carts will be going this morning as long as we don't get any more rain. I haven't been able to survey the entire course though, so there is a chance that they may need to be in the rough only depending on how the water soaks in over the next few hours. Why in the rough when it's normally fairways only? That is because the rough doesn't really get much irrigation so when we have long dry periods where the fairways are getting watered, the rough is much more able to soak up the rain.
