Maybe the rain and cloudy weather is behind us now. There is a chance of sunshine later today. Looks like next week is going to warm back up to normal temperatures. Course is all set up and ready for Saturday morning play.

On the course

The forecast has changed for the rest of the week. Rain expected Thursday and Friday.  We will mow out roughs today and follow up with playing areas tomorrow and Friday. Depending on how the forecast changes. This weather pattern we are in is not pushing Bermudagrass growth. Soon it will warm up and stay hot for the summer. I keep thinking that is about to happen and then it cools off again.

Getting some much needed rain.  We will get back to mowing the course tomorrow   Looks like the rest of the week will be ok.

Wow. What is this, 44 degrees this morning. Yesterday afternoon got a little uncomfortable with the high winds and cool temps. Today should be a little bit warmer. But still cool for this time of year. This weekend will be very nice, getting back to normal on Sunday with highs near 90. Golf Course is coming along as temperature will allow. Greens are picking up pace as we remove more and more leaf tissue. Tees, collars and fairways are being cut for the weekend. Should be a nice weekend. Get out and enjoy the course.

Hopefully we won't get too much. We are mowing greens and tees this morning. Raking bunkers and normal set up. We are also top dressing tees with black sand.

Wind is predicted to be 15-25 mph the next few days. If we do get wet tonight that will help us dry.  Greens are starting to have a little new growth and fairways and tees are starting to green up.

We got past day 1 of the potential heavy rain with only .30".  That is way better than the forecast.  Most if the rain stayed just North of us.

It is snowing!  It has been snowing for the last several hours. Looks like about 1" of accumulation so far. Shouldn't accumulate much more.  When I drove in to work a couple of hours ago the roads I traveled were fine.  Today there will be an indefinite delay.   I really have no idea when enough snow will clear to play golf... If anybody wants to play golf.

Cold out here!  Lows in the area are 18-23 degrees. Course is at the high end of that range. We do not have a bright white frost, but it is there and the ground is frozen, including greens.  The delay this morning will last at least until late morning  maybe approaching noon.

On the course

The drying that we had done over the last week or so was very nice.  It allowed us to get out and do some things on the course. We got the cart path edged and did a lot of debris pickup. Yesterday's rain was enough to get the course wet again.  Hopefully that is all the rain for this weekend.  Next week looks to be more like winter.  Maybe these weekly multiple inch rain events are behind us now.
