As we begin the work day, it seems that Mother Nature has once again rolled out of bed with what seems to be either a bad hangover from last night's Christmas party or a serious head cold from the terrible weather we have been experiencing. Unfortunately we were sprinkled on last night to a tune of almost two-tenths of an inch of rain, resaturating the already overly saturated golf course. After checking the weather records for this month, we have received nearly 4 inches of rain, along with nearly 2 inches of snow. After doing some research to determine just how much rainfall is equivalent to 2 inches of snow, I came up with a very easy solution. Always remember that 10 inches of snow equals 1 inch of rainfall. Using this equation, if you divide 2 by 10, you get .2" of rainfall. This is a rough estimation, however when I compared this number with the recorded amount of precipitation from our weather station, it was exactly .2 inches during the two day period that we witnessed the snowfall and melt.
Looking forward to the rest of the week, we are getting ever so close to the Christmas holiday, in which I might add, the golf course is closed. However, remember walkers are always welcome, just don't forget your rubber boots. Due to the wet conditions, our work load has been greatly reduced down to small projects such as repairing the tee box yardage plats. We have noticed that over time the concrete blocks that the yardage plates were placed in, were beginning to crack. We removed the blocks and have now set the yardage plates into a stronger concrete mix.
In closing, I would like to again wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas along with a Happy New year.
