Post Apocalyptic Rains

Today started out as bad as I thought it would. Over five inches of rain during the weekend kept the course closed. As expected, every bunker on the course has washouts from the torrential downpour Friday night. That means a four man team will spend the day shoveling out contaminated bunker sand and moving sand back into the washed out areas. This is a very labor intensive and time consuming endeavor. 

There still is a little bit of standing water over the drain basin grates around the course, with the range being the worst. Our drainage system works exceptionally well under normal circumstances.  However, when we get that much water when the lakes are already full there is just no place for the water to drain to. The water is receding but it will take another day or two for the lakes to equalize to their normal high water mark.
