The golf course and the club held up very well throughout the last 48 hours of storms. No trees fell and the golf course really handled the 1.75" of rain very well. It has still been raining all morning but it appears that the worst is past us. We should all be very thankful as many of our northern neighbors suffered greatly during this storm.
Monday was productive but today is really to wet to do too much work. Our team is busy cleaning up from the storm and will be doing so for the remainder of the week. The golf course is soaked but playable. I would be surprised if cart traffic will be allowed on fairways this week. Here are a few pictures from last week and yesterday. Stay safe out there.

| This picture shows the team laying out the plant material for the installation of the butterfly garden at #8 tee complex. All of the plant material is native and will make a great improvement in this area. |
 |
| This is the butterfly garden at #12 tee. All of the plants are native with varying size and color. The tree is a native Choke Cherry and the plant material consists of native Bee Balm, Black Eyed Susan, and Tickseed. |
 |
| The staff was able to mow greens ahead of the storm yesterday. This was well worth it as mowing will not happen today. |
 |
| Dan and Ryan applied gypsum and a balanced fertility package to the greens yesterday. We were able to take advantage of the rain and the gypsum will help mitigate any extra salinity that may be in the rain water associated with this storm. |
 |
| Danny Golden was here yesterday to grind the large stump at the first tee. If you need a stump ground, he is your man. Our team will be cleaning up the area this week. |
Have a great week,
