Day 2 of the 2011 Spring Rains

I am beginning to think that Mother Nature has an issue with our summer holidays.  2011 Memorial Day flooding, 2008 4th of July, 2011 President's Day Ice storm, etc... It seems we can't catch a break! 

After the 2 inches of rain the 25th - 26th, we received another half inch overnight.  As expected, the course is extremely wet for what seems like the 10,000th time this spring.  The crew is out battling with pumps, weedeaters, and shovels to do what they can to clean the course  up for the first decent weekend of the year.  Summer is here and it's time to play golf.

Unfortunately with all the rain, we are behind on our mowing.  Fairways and rough will be a little long for awhile.  We will be here this weekend when conditions are dry to try and play catch-up.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all of you.  Let's hope this is the start to a great summer season!

  Below are a few pictures of today's activities.

The creek did get out of its banks eventually, but not at destructive levels.

#10 a little flooded.

Crew was out dodging puddles and getting sand back up on washed out faces.

Pumps were out in bunkers and fairways trying to clean up the standing water.
