Finally Some Rain

Even though the rain hurts our revenue chances it sure has been nice to get a couple of pretty good storms these past couple of weeks. According to our rain gauge at the maintenance shop we have received just shy of 3" in the last couple of storms. We have had to hold off carts for a couple of days but the course has really taken the rain very well. Because of the lack of rain earlier in the year we were able to solid tine aerify our fairways. This has really helped to move the water into the soil these past couple of storms and helped us get carts off the paths and out on the course sooner. The worst area for holding water is the area between #15 & #16 fairways. I think in the future we will look to cut a bunch of drain lines throughout that area and fill them with sand. Here's a couple of pictures of our morning yesterday.
