Storm Damage

Due to yesterdays storm the course will not be open until 10 am.  We have some trees and a lot of debris to clean up before we can mow anything.

 A tree limb that fell in the parking lot.

 18 green

 This is what most of the greens looked like this morning.

The creek also came back up last night. With the high temperatures today and tomorrow it will be hard pressed to find much grass on holes 1 and 2 that is still alive. 

With 1 inch of rain last night we will not be able to run carts today.

Flooding

Due to the rising creek holes 1, 2 and 3 are closed for the day.  We will evaluate carts for this afternoon.

 A look at 1 ladies tee and the fairway.

What used to be hole 2.

More Flooding

We received another 2.25 inches of rain last night and holes 1 and 2 have already begun to flood.  There will be no carts today and 1 and 2 will be closed. Unfortunately the creek probably will not even crest until tomorrow.

2 fairway is already under water and more is on the way.

Annuals

We are finally dry enough to start planting flowers.  We received over 200 flats that will go in the ground over the next few days.

another .5 of rain last night we will not be running carts today. we now have had 4 inches of rain in the last week

No carts today we recieved another .5 inch rain last night and it looks like more on the way.

Greens Aerification

Greens aerification is complete, things went very well with cooperation from mother nature.  The greens are in good shape and should be in great condition for the weekend.  Below you can see a few pictures of the cores being pulled from the greens.  After the machines are done we go in and shovel all the cores up, and then apply enough sand to fill all the holes.

 Today we gave the greens a good roll to help close the holes.

Here you can see the holes 100% filled and a very playable putting surface.

Finally some sun

This morning we saw the sun for what feels like the first time this year. The course has dried out and the greens are in great shape.  With the rain and warmer temperatures the rough is growing at rapid pace.  It looks like we are going to have our first great weekend, hopefully you can get out and play.  Also this monday and tuesday we will be closed for greens aerification, if everything goes well we expect the greens to be back to normal in 7 to 10 days. Thanks for the cooperation and understanding.

 Even the deer decided to take advantage of the great weather this morning.

Here is 8 green being cut with clear sky and sun in the background.

1 and 2 open

Holes 1 and 2 opened today at 12:00. We were able to cut most of the areas that were flooded, however some of the areas are still to wet.

 This was the rough on 2 island, although it was cut there are still a lot of clippings lying around.

Here we are cutting down the fairway on 2.
