Ugh.  Its Ground Hog Day over and over.  Last year it was rain and more rain.  Do you know that we were closed for a week last year at this time cause we were saturated?  Too much rain is the worst.  This year its just the opposite.  There is something about this area that wards off rain though we know this mini drought is area wide now.

 

Its hard to establish new seedlings with this amount of rain.

 

 

Our pump intake is alarmingly low. 

 

 

With the lake so far down we thought it was a good time to service the intake.  Divers cleaned silt accumulated underneath as well as debris on the intake screen.

 

 

New bent seedlings trying.  A soaking rain would do wonders.

 

 

Bent coming up in some of the rows.  The thin areas in the fairways will need to be reseeded.

 

 

We have had outings the past two Mondays so it has been difficult knocking out projects.  The crew worked on the bunkers throughout the work week.  Marvelous!

 

 

All turf around the clubhouse has been seeded.

 

 

Remnants of days past.  Too much rain and an abundance of silt creating islands in 11 pond.

 

 

Monarchs in the Rough!

 

 

Gill has the view!
