Is that Lakeview (looks like it)? We haven't had any rain down here in Meadville.

Edit: Nevermind. I recognize it.

Really slow greens?

Our course was closed for two days because of flooding back in May. Roads were washing out also.

Yeah. Back up to the upper nineties tomorrow

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.

That's the kind of rain we get here. It'll come out of nowhere, rain very hard, and disappear as fast as it started. All it usually does is just make it really humid though.

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.
