Rain! Rain!

We got some well needed rain Saturday evening into Sunday morning, 2.5 inches to be exact. It is good to get these rains but when it's hard and fast we have to do some cleanup. As seen in photos the hard rains bring the thatch to the surface and it begins to move across the fairways and roughs. As the rain slows and stops this thatch will dry in these rows. We will break this thatch and old clippings up with the fairway mowers then we will blow them off. It's a slow process but when you get these rains in the winter and the grass is dormant there is a much worse thatch build up on the surface and its a lot more noticeable.

We will be clearing the drains as well. The thatch will collect and stop the water from draining properly on these drain tiles. (As seen in photos)
