This past weekend brought the course 3.75" of rain. The course did well with the brunt of the rain over Friday night - we were able to allow carts on Saturday morning. But with the continued light rain on Saturday and Sunday, the soil became saturated and it is now very wet. From what I count on the calender, this is the 5th time that this has happened this year - major rain events bringing 2"+ in one shot. I don't recall this happening at all last year, I don't think we had to fix our bunkers once, now it is a monthly occurrence.
This is a 1' high pile of grass clippings over a drain in the fairway. This tells me there was a lot of rain that came really fast.
Monday morning we had a few puddles lingering in the fairways.
Our bunkers washed out again.
We spent time cleaning them out before we could fix them.
The crew did a great job getting them back in shape.
