Well, I guess time flies when you're having fun...or just really busy. Time has slipped away from me, and once again it has been awhile since I've put a new post here. Since the last post, pretty much the main story on the golf course has been the extraordinary amounts of rain we have been receiving. Last week the course had gotten a chance to dry out a little bit, but since Sunday night we have gotten 2.5" of rain, with 2" of it coming in just about an hour, and the course is very wet again. Low areas of the course have never really had a chance to dry out since the flooding rains in the middle of April and if we get any more rain this weekend like the forecast says, Sunday may be another "no carts" day. Having to make that decision is never a fun one, so for once this year, maybe this batch of rain will miss us.
Even with the rain, we were still able to have a fairly productive week and we were able to finish a project that people have been waiting to see for a long time. The new Blue Tee on #6 is now sodded and growing, but we still have some work to do in the area. Areas around the tee that were damaged during construction will be seeded, and new irrigation for the tee will be added next week. We hope to able to open the tee to play in just a few weeks.

Hopefully, next week is a little drier and we will be able to catch up on our to-do list a little bit! Lately it seems like all we have been doing is pushing sand back up on washed out bunker faces and trying to keep up with the mowing in between the heavy rains.
