Wet Wet Wet

The weather has had a significant impact on both our NCC members and the Golf Course Operations team.  Below are a few photos of how the rainfall has hampered the golf course and the golf course operations team this spring. 


I am sure it will be hot and dry soon enough. 

While the extensive rain days have frustrated our golfers, the Golf Course Operations team members have struggled with staying dry as they prepare the course.

Wet Spring

We have had quite a wet spring.  April, May and June have had numerous days of rainfall.  However, the course is in great shape.  The roughs continue to stay wet.  Shade, low areas, lack of sub-surface drainage, limited air flow and higher cutting heights contribute to the roughs staying wetter than the fairways.  The greens, tees, fairways and bunkers are still in a quality condition each day.

Just when we think we have issues, the farmers in the Mid-West are in trouble
