It's Ground Hog Day.  More rain and course closure.  We just completed seeding the third and fifth fairways, watered it in to start the growing cycle and BAM!  Over one inch of rain fell fast and furious ending what had been a great day.  The good news (I think) is the damage is not too severe and shouldn't require much additional seeding.

 
Monday morning and the seeding has begun.  That's Luis on the tractor.
 
 
The start of a long day.  Rony and Max begin seeding really bad areas with our walk seeders.

 
After seeding Josh used a metal drag mat to breakup the crust on top.

 
The result is an absolutely perfect seedbed.  The sprinklers are on in the background.

 
More irrigation.

 
Early afternoon we encountered this.  Look familiar?
 
 
This morning these fairways looked better than expected.
 
 
A closer look.
 
 
The course is recovering.  This is last Friday.
