What a bad storm we experienced this week.  The golf course didn't lose any trees but it sure did lose plenty of mulch.  I don't believe I can remember such a "spring" storm in February.  Anyway we spent two days cleaning up and are ready to open the entire course the first week of March.  We are about three weeks ahead of last season and the long range weather looks good for golf.  Maybe Mr. Groundhog was right about an early spring!

Every bunker was in this condition or worse on Thursday morning.  Rainfall rates around 2 inches per hour were experienced.

Storm damage #5.

Mud and mulch at the 6th green.

More mess by the 3rd green.

Plenty of silt was deposited in all of our ponds.  

More cleanup Saturday morning.

We made temporary greens that were nice to look at but never used this winter!  Turf covers come off on Sunday and mowers and rollers will be on the course next week.

There is still plenty of firewood available for the taking.
