Good morning!  The rain has ended and the course is on the mend. Sun and some wind will help our course dry out but don't expect miracles when you play this weekend.  I can not stress just how wet we are-In my 21 years this course has never been this saturated for such an extended period.  Conditions will get better each day with the beautiful fall weather we will finally experience.

Is this a good omen or what?  This rainbow was above our course this morning.

I hope you can appreciate the stellar job your greens crew has done this year under some exceptionally trying conditions. We certainly appreciate your patience.  On Thursday most of the fairways were mowed with minimal damage.  This takes extreme skill and care.

  

Two fairway after mowing.  We raised the mowing height again and changed our mowing pattern to minimize turns.

Before mowing many of the fairways had to be blown by hand.  Here's Josh getting it done.

The bermudagrass on the driving range is slowing down to a crawl and will force play to mats soon.  One way we can stay on it longer is if we practice correctly.  Here Jack Morgan admires a perfect line of divots that will heal laterally in the spring.  Jack tell me your not going to hit another line next to it!

Ugh-this may have to be sodded.
