Another 1.6" and rising with no place for it to go.  Rainfall total since July 17th is now over 24 inches.  The sun is supposed to shine tomorrow but don't expect the course to be dry yet.

Its becoming a bad habit checking the rain gauge in the morning before scheduling work assignments.

Fifteen collar soaked again.  New seedlings were emerging all over before the deluge but will they be there tomorrow?

Sixteen tee with standing water.  No wonder this tee is so weak. 

Eight tee soaked and needing a rebuild.

Opening a clogged drain on the ninth hole. 

A very chlorotic green in need of some sun. 

Here is some disease damage to the 12th tee rough surrounds.  Notice how the bent tee surface is unaffected.  The disease is called gray leafspot and it affects ryegrass and to a lesser degree tall fescue.  These damaged areas have been reseeded.

Earthworms seeking dry ground.

Richard and Josh plugging areas on the practice green.  This green will reopen Friday.

A closer look at Richard's plugging masterpiece.

Let's not forget about our unsung hero Rony.

 

Edging bunkers throughout the course.  No mowing except the greens tomorrow.  Too wet! 

Oscar sharpening greens mowers for a sharp cut on Wednesday.

Jose B giving a hand.

I wonder if Chef Francesco can make use of these?

Not everything is grim.  Here winterberry is thriving by the sixth green.  Planted in 2017 these plants will put on a real show in a few years.
