Drain 18

We finished that drain on 18. Started digging it up thinking it would be a small, quick fix. That changed quickly. All the pipes were clogged and we had to install a new out fall.

Greens

The greens look pretty good for as wet as its been. They get beat up around the pins everyday where most of the traffic is concentrated. Hopefully we can get a couple days without rain. Got another 0.5" yesterday.

Weather

With the exception of the rain...this weather is sweet for July. Next 3 or 4 nights lows in the 60's. That's just dreamy for July in Williamsburg. Hopefully this continues....without the rain. The amount of rain the last 3 weeks has been unbelievable. Not so much the amounts but the frequency. Every day.

Forward tees

I guess there has been some question whether or not the forward tees on 13 and 14 are level. They are. Attached is a puck that we use to measure slope. 

There is a bit of an optical illusion because these tees are set on a slope, but they are in fact level.

Bunker edges

Started working in repairing some bunker edges yesterday since it was too wet to mow. The bunker edges move in after so many years and it's really difficult to grow decent turf with that straight sand under the grass. We are fining the original edge and installing bunker liner and sand on those new bunker edges. 

Finished edge looks good.

Perfect morning

Friday morning was perfect....except for the more rain issue. Those are the mornings you appreciate picking this business...not being stuck in an office has its perks. 

We got a few fairways mown before the shotgun but didn't have enough guys to finish them all before a 9am shotgun. With 1" last night and more rain this evening, the bunkers washed again. We got them all fixed this morning, but it's pouring now. Hopefully they don't go again. I've lost count on how many times we have fixed bunkers in the last month.
