Pics from flood May 29, 2015

Here are some Pics I took from the morning of the 29th while using a tractor to go through the high water to turn off all electrical power on the back nine.

 Gravel Road on 11

 Irrigation boxes are under water.

 The greens are not Dry. When those irrigation boxes go under like this we sometimes have shorts in the electrical system.

 Here is the Pump house on 13, as you can see the Breaker Boxes are on the side of the building. This is what I had to turn off.

 Here is the Fire Pit area.

And this is the High water bridge on 17. Not safe for travel.

Course flooding

I'm As we all know the course has been dealing with near constant rain over the past several weeks. Last week the river roses high enough to push eater out on to the course and flood us from 10 fairwa to 13 green. 

our bunkers have been taking a beating too. We are doing everything in our power to get the course into the best possible condition for the Four Ball this weekend! Everything should be tip top, by then, unless mother nature throws us a curve ball.

Here are a few pictures from the flood event. These pictures really do not show the true magnitude of the event.

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I want to thank everyone who came out Saturday and donated to the building fund! It was a great day, the weather was perfect, and the course played nice! 

The day could not have happened without the MWGA ! These ladies are amazing! Thank thank you thank you!!!!

I also want to thank Cary for all the hard work he did to make the day so successful!! He and his staff really are  the heart of our club!!!!

First Verticutting of year.

Yesterday we performed our first verticutting of the greens this year. 

We implement this cultural practice approximatly every other week thru the growing season. During aerification we also perform a much more aggressive verticut. 

Here are some pics if the procedure from yesterday.
