I thought the rains would never arrive. And then they did and boy Cindy was angry. We received 2.4" of rain in about three hours. We got the pond filler we were looking for but timing could have been a bit better. It was drizzling at 4:30am and with the crew ready to roll out at 5 we got about 15 minutes of prep completed before all hell broke loose. After popping drain caps all around the course and surveying the damage we set out. 90% of the bunkers were washed out and at 7:00 many of the greens still had puddles.
Luckily the greens drain very well so it wasn't long before they were playable. I couldn't mow the greens this morning without risking damage from digging and scalping so we'll double cut and roll tomorrow to catch up.

Water Hazards galore! |
We hurried around the course and quickly shoveled and raked the worst
washouts to make the bunkers playable but will do a full bunker rake in
the am.
