Finally, some rain!

After several days of 90+ degree temperatures and only 1" of rain since early June, we finally got a nice shower last night.  In spite of applying about 500,000 gallons of water to the course nightly, the continuous heat and lack of rain had begun to take it's toll on the course.  Alex reports that  about 1.25" of rain was recorded at the maintenance building gauge, while my gauge on the opposite side of the course near 12 fairway reached 2.25".   To show just how dry the course was....even after that rain Alex reports that cart traffic today will be at 90 degrees.
