Rain Report (March 2011)

     Well, it looks as we made it through another wave of storms and the forecast for the next week looks pretty clear with some highs even reaching into the low 70's. Here at the course we received rain 10 out the last 11 days with a storm total of 4.5". The course has handled the rain pretty well with only a couple of the smaller trees and a few branches on the more mature trees falling down. We should have the course cleaned up for play today and possible have the course ready for carts on Monday or Tuesday. Please check with the pro shop for an update on cart availability @ 831-656-1087.
     As a side note to the rains this year, we typically start our rainy season at the beginning of October and go through April or May. Last year during the so called "El Nino" we received 15.32" from Oct. '09 through March '10. This year through the same time period we have received 18.67" which amounts to 3.35" more than last year. Hopefully this means that the aquifers in the ground are filling up so that our wells will produce more water throughout the year.
