April Showers

Over the past 2 weeks we have received a total of 4 inches of rain. The first rain showers of the previous week were needed as we were actually very dry.  That 1 inch of rain was soon soaked up by the ground and we were able to mow greens and fairways this past Sunday. 

The remaining 3 inches of rain came this past week between Tuesday and Thursday.  Of which, 2.5 inches was over a one day period.  Heavy rainfalls such as this result in swollen ponds and additional water hazards on the course.
