Rain on the Way

It seems like every morning that I am able to sit down and update this blog, there is a good chance of rain on the way, with today being no different. It appears that the El Nino pattern this year is living up to its reputation. If many of you are not familiar with the El Nino weather pattern, I will do my best to give some simple insight. The first thing that comes to mind when describing this weather pattern is the repetitive pattern of cool, wet weather systems moving through our area every 4-5 days. These fronts are not dropping high amounts of rainfall at one time, however with each passing front, we are seeing anywhere from a tench to half an inch of rain. You couple this with constant cloud cover and low wind speeds, and you are left with constant wet conditions on the golf course.

Fortunately, over the past couple of days the weather has cooperated enough for us to complete some much needed projects. Our main focus was put towards repairing the broken cart path on #2. As usual it was not just a quick concrete job because once we got everything exposed, we found a crushed drainage pipe as the culprit for the collapsed cart path. A ten foot piece of pipe and a few hours later, the drainage pipe and the cart path were repaired. Along with the path repair, we were able to touch up the paint in the on-course bathrooms. Hopefully in the next week or so we will see the new water cooler stands in place.

Until next time, stay dry over the next couple of days and I hope to see you all at the MGA tournament this weekend.
