2+ inches of rain in 30 minutes? What's that get you?

I sent the pic to our superintendent and he wrote :

Source: link above
Earlier in the year, someone had mentioned that we could use some more water features on the golf course. So not to disrupt play, last night we brought in the bulldozers and made #18 an island green. We also added some other water hazards throughout the golf course as well.

All kidding aside, without notice, this morning a cold front moved through dumping 2 inches of rain in less than an hour. This is by far the most rain we've received in one shot in almost a decade. As most of it "ran off", believe it or not, we were able to allow play with carts by four in the afternoon.

That's why they got the carts back out at 4, and golfers were on the course by noon.

If it rains as heavy as that where you live and you can get out on the course during the downpour, have a look at where the water collects on the greens and where it runs off to and stick it in the old memory bank.

Sometimes just watching where it pools and runs to can take the "what the f^*k?" factor out of putts that apparently break uphill, because of course they don't.

Gosh are you lucky. It was like that up here in the MA. But now it's just been non-stop rain. I was lucky to fit in 9 yesterday.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DaveP043 ·

      I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DaveP043 ·

      For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
