The nice thing about having a lot of rain is that it shows exactly where more drainage is necessary. There are a few areas on the course where a wet spot is only a few feet away from a catch basin and today we eliminated one of those on #18. We might have dug 20'-25' of trench to, hopefully, eliminate one of the wetter areas on the course. All around the course there are areas where we will be able to do similar things and we'll continue to stay on it with the goal of moving as much water off the course as possible.
Before.
During.
After.
It's been a rough few weeks with the rain (it's currently pouring as I type) but we have actually been a little lucky. A friend of mine in Sylvania sent me a picture of his course after 18" of rain this month. There is supposed to be a fairway where that river is.
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend!
