Rain Totals 6.19.14

It's been quite the week for bad weather around here. Rain and wind have contributed to not so desirable playing conditions. Monday night we had 3 inches, 3/4 inch Tuesday night, and so far today we've had 1.65 inches (with plenty more on the radar). The golf course typically takes rain and drains pretty well, but not this much this quickly. I have some pictures below that I took this morning.

Storm Damage 6.17.14

The storm that went through last night caused considerable damage to a lot of trees out here. With straight line winds in excess of 70 mph, over two dozen trees were completely lost with some pretty heavy limb damage in many more. 3 inches of rain has the creek and ponds out of their banks, but the wind was definitely the worst part of the storm. Unfortunately, the Martin Brothers outing today had to be cancelled and the course will be closed until at least noon with no carts all day. Men's league tonight will also have to be rescheduled. Most of the damage was on holes 5 and 13. Below are a few pictures.

We verti-cut and double mowed again today with a light topdressing. Greens should be rolling really nice for the Member-Guest this Friday and Saturday! Hope you're signed up!

It looks like it's going to get pretty hot and humid this week. Try to avoid turf stress in the fairways by driving golf carts in the roughs. Also (as always), keep them on the paths around greens and tees. Keep what we have looking nice!! Enjoy this weather, I know this is what I was praying for about 4 months ago!
