SWAMPED!!

Well, in our 10th day since it started raining we have received 8 inches of rain! Just as we had gotten the course back in condition, greens were rolling 10.25" on Friday morning, the sky opened up again. The worst of the rain hit Sunday afternoon. We received 1.5" of rain in about 12 to 15 minutes. This type of downpour is the worst, especially for our bunkers.

As always, our goal is to return Hartefeld to optimal playing conditions as quickly as possible. Today, I have our entire crew, shoveling the extremely washed out bunkers. Late this afternoon we will begin mowing some of the playing surfaces and continue tomorrow early in the am. The forecast is not calling for any additional rain until late in the week, I am hoping we are back to "normal" by Wednesday mid day.

Thank you all for your cooperation!
