Course Update 8/29/20

 Thursday night we received 1.2" of rain, then an additional 2.87" of heavy rain came yesterday afternoon and throughout the night, bringing our total to 4.07" in the past 48 hours.  We were on track to have another below-average month of precipitation and needed some rain, but this is beyond excessive.  The storms washed out the bunkers both days, caused some tree damage, and left a lot of leaves and other debris for us to clean up.  It was also necessary to be Cart Path Only today, which last occurred 98 days ago on May 22.  That's the longest stretch I can remember going back to 2016.


Fortunately only a few trees came down in the storm, but there were a lot of branches and leaves that had to be cleaned up.

All the bunkers were washed out from the storm and a few will need to be pumped out.  We started repairing the greenside bunkers today and should be completed in a couple days.

The main irrigation lake below the Clubhouse had been drawn down a couple feet over the past several months, but it only took two days of rain to have it overflowing.
