The irony to this is that I am in the process of writing a blog post about irrigation. The irrigation was shut off last night after the golf course received 1.45 inches of rain yesterday evening. The storm produced a lot of wash in the bunkers, a lot of large limbs down, and two downed trees. There is no permanent damage but it will take our full crew at least the entire day to clean up from this storm. This is where progress is lost and we will be playing catch up in regards to mowing for the rest of the week. Carts will be restricted to the path all day as well.

| 18 inch caliper tree snapped in half |
 |
| Tree snapped in half on the river bank at 5 tee |
 |
| Large limbs ripped off of trees at 17 tee |
 |
| Bunker washed on #12. All contaminated sand has to be removed and all good sand redistributed. Very labor intensive. |
 |
| No wash in the fairway bunker on 8. A new type of liner was installed in this bunker. Looks great so far! |
