Course update 9/13

We received another .3" of rain yesterday. The course is saturated! We
were forced to mow the greens today as it has been two days since we
have been able to do so. We also rolled. Greens 10,11 and 14 will be
handmowed because of how wet they continue to be. These will not be
rolled. Greens will again be slower than what we are used to because of the rain.

Our greens are a USGA spec and do drain very well, however the water
needs some where to drain. This would either be through the drain tile
or simple through the subgrade. Our problem is that everything is
saturated and the water leaving the greens has no where to go. Water
tables are also extremely high.
