Rain, rain, and more rain... again.

This past weekend proved to be a 'stay inside and relax' weekend due to the amount of rain we received. Our rain gauge had 6". The course help up great considering, and by Monday, Juniper Hill was just very wet and sloppy. A little stream running down #17 was all that remained. Unlike some of my fellow superintendents, their course were underwater. Pictures posted showed just how lucky we were with the rain. Connemara Golf Course has one hole that has over 7 feet of water covering it. Cherry Blossom Golf Club has 3/4 of it's driving range under water and their ponds had risen up to 5 feet to the edge of some fairways. Eagle's Nest Golf Course spent an entire day on one green just to wash the mud off of it. Luckly, yes we were. My sympathies goes out to all dealing with the rain and hope for a speedy recovery. So for those who complain about being on cart path only for one day here, think about not being able to play for about 2 days at the place you call your home course and being on the path for the rest of the week.
