Mother Nature Wins

12th green cup filled with water
 Another 1.8 inches of rain fell last night giving us a total of almost 12 inches of rain in the last seven days. When the golf and grounds crew arrived at 5:30 AM this morning to start our prep for today's tournament almost every fairway had ponds of standing water on them along with several cups on the greens filled with water. There are also several bunkers that have water in them. Most of the rain fell between 1:30 AM and 5 AM.
Our plan of action is pump and rake the bunkers immediately. Greens will be cut and rolled and pin placements will be set starting at 10 AM .
All the work will be completed before the 1 PM shotgun start. We could use some of those 130 volunteers that the USGA has at the Open this week. Our staff of 20 will get it done!!!
Going to be a slow track today
New water hazard on 4 fairway
