Rain!

We received almost 3" of rain last Friday, which was very welcomed. Unfortunately it happened just as the Club Championship was getting under way, but everything turned out very well. The rain did raise lake Travis ever so slightly, so it might delay more restrictions until next year.

We have a vast drainage network running throughout the golf course that drains everything from the greens, tees, bunkers and low areas on the course. These large rainfalls reveal where there is a weakness or if a drain is clogged, generally with tree roots. #5 fairway is a good example and we are trying to determine if the 8" line separated at the joint or if we have a blockages further down the line. This area will be GUR until repairs are made in the next day or two.
