Last evening we had a series of storms roll through that dumped close to 3 inches of rain on the golf course, washing out bunkers and mulch beds. If we can go back a little the last time we had rain was August 1st. The golf course was seeing a lot of damage from the dry conditions as well as the pond level steadily dropping. With help from mother nature, this couldn't have happened at a better time. Although we prefer slow rains that last all day, we can not be to picky at this point. Below are some pictures of the golf course from the storms and the bunker repair process.
