Wanted to give you a quick update on where we are with the golf course. So far this week we have had a little over an inch of rain. Not too much, but on top of an already wet golf course, it felt more like three inches of rain!
On Monday we finished mowing all of the rough before the rain moved in. The front nine rough was actually cut twice, which made a big improvement. Today (Thursday) we were able to get started again with the rough. Still a little wet, but we are making progress. Our biggest concern is the 50% chance of rain for tonight. If we miss this rain, the golf course will be completely mowed for the first time in over two weeks. As you can imagine, we are praying for no rain tonight!
Through all of this weather, the fairways have been slower to dry out compared to the rest of the course. For all the benefits of Zoysia, the downside is the tendency to act like a sponge following a rain event. Luckily, as slow as the Zoysia has been growing, it hasn't been as bad as you might expect.
Along those same lines, if we miss the rain tonight, I would expect to get carts off the path on Friday. Any amount of rain, would limit our ability to mow or get carts off the path.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we deal with record rainfall this summer.
