Here at Midlothian CC we received around 4.5 to 5 inches of rainfall between Wednesday night and Friday morning. To compare this rainfall to April of 2012, the whole month last year only saw 2.72 inches of precipitation. We received that much on Thursday alone! As you can imagine, that much precipitation leads to some soggy conditions on the course. This large amount of rain will give us wet playing conditions for a few days to come. The drainage on the course is backed up and not going anywhere very soon. There are pools of standing water on several fairways as well as many areas of the rough. Even the gravel path by the practice green has been washed into the rough. Turf all over the course is going to grow quickly with the rainfall causing everything to play a little slower than usual. It may take through the weekend to get caught up mowing everything but we will be back on track soon. The greens are dry in comparison due to their higher elevation and should firm up much faster than the rest of the course. With some wind and a few dry sunny days we should be back to normal.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to post one and we will respond ASAP!
Enjoy!
