| Newly planted sod left of #4 Blue held up great during the rain. |
We received just over 2" of rain yesterday evening, with most of it falling in less than three hours. The heavy rainfall rate washed most bunkers, spread debris along lake banks, and caused some minor tree damage. Fortunately, there was no major damage across the property, and our crew did a great job cleaning up the mess.
This week we also planted a fifth truckload of sod, replacing grass around the tennis pro shop, parking lot, and several smaller areas throughout the property. Thankfully, the storms did not cause any significant damage to the newly planted grass.
February was officially the warmest on record, which has continued to result in a much earlier "green up" on both courses than we are accustomed to. See photos comparing 2025 to 2026 on #10 Gold. Next week we plan to lightly aerate and sand top-dress the greens, begin repairing a mainline irrigation leak on the right side of Blue #18 (not part of the new irrigation system), and continue reinstalling the ice and water machines on the courses.

Warm temperatures and additional rainfall are expected this weekend, which should continue to encourage early-season turf growth across the property.
