What a difference a week makes. In less than 2 weeks, we have gone from looking almost golf-ready to buried in ice, snow, and limbs, and now we are enjoying the all-too-common flood season. Warmer temps and a little sun has started melting off the President's Day mess and subsequent snow. I can hear Johnny Cash singing "How High's the Water Mama".
So far, we have to be getting close to crest, and water levels aren't anywhere near panic level yet. After the floods of '06 and '08, there's not much to be concerned about now. With any luck, the water won't get too much higher and we can get out on the course soon.

| As of 1pm, water is just creeping around #9 bridge. |
 |
| #9 drop area |
 |
| Some sandbags near #9 bridge to protect the exposed irrigation valve we hope to repair before the spring. |
 |
| #10 and #11 starting to swell. |
 |
| The temporary green on #11 froze overnight. Now it's the consistency of a giant slurpee. |
 |
| After the severe spring floods from 2 seasons ago, we raised the bank and added rock protection on #2 tee. Looks like it's working as planned! |
 |
| Bottom of #2 fairway starting to fill up. |
