We have both good news and bad news. Drying progress has been made on both holes as of 6PM Thursday!! However, that excitement is being negated a bit by the wet forecast for the weekend. With one dry day, 14 would be ready to open. There are still extremely wet areas, but with signs and rope, we could manage play on 14 by Saturday.
We have also made progress removing water from 15. As you may have seen driving into the Club, we have dug both small and large holes on 15 fairway, in an attempt to entice water to move into them. When the holes fill with water, they are then pumped dry to a spot downstream. It may seem to be as silly method for removing water, but it appears to be working. 15 fairway is much drier at this writing than it was yesterday morning.
Of course, rain will arrive on the shores of 15 sometime in the early morning hours tonight. However more rainfall we receive, we will continue to work to open 14 and 15 ASAP.
Thanks to everyone for your continued patience!!
Here are a few pictures of 15 taken at 5PM Thursday.
Lie on 15 fairway...wet fairway turf doesn't mow very well
