| Water flowing into DAC via Long Branch Creek on 4.2.26 |
We received 0.8" of much-needed rain early this morning, providing a welcome boost to overall course conditions. Both courses remained cart path only today due to a combination of wet conditions and recent fertilizer applications to tees, fairways, and roughs. Notably, we did not have any water flowing into the property via Long Branch Creek—an unusual occurrence for April—but thanks to this rainfall, all ponds are now full and water is once again moving throughout the system.
It is also worth noting that we experienced the 2nd warmest February and the warmest March on record. The impact is noticeable throughout both courses - especially through drone footage.

Aeration of the Blue Course greens was completed smoothly on Monday, following the same process used on the Gold Course greens 10 days prior. While surfaces remain slightly sandy heading into the weekend, recovery is progressing quickly and conditions will continue to improve in the coming days.
