Yesterday, the course received 1.9 inches of rainfall, bringing the April rain total to almost 5 inches. The forecast for the James River is to crest at 13 feet. At this level, the course will experience higher water levels in the canals that could lead to the bridges on #17 being under water. The golf pro shop will let you know about any changes on #17 at the start of your round.
Our team has completed several projects around the course and on the driving range . On the driving range, additional drainage has been added, irrigation heads around the tees have been leveled, and topdressing has been applied on the tees and short game practice area. On the course, concrete has been poured to repair the cart path on #12, removing the lower limbs on the trees between #9/#18 and #16/#17, and the initial mowing most various surfaces.

Spring has arrived as flowers are blooming all around campus. Paul's hard work continues to make the landscape around the club great. The installation of "Victory Gardens" this year are highlighting how vegetables and herbs can be included in the landscape to provide both great visual interest and food.
