In the past week, we have received more rain than we typically average in an entire summer. A little over 3" of rain has fallen, much of which came in a matter of minutes. Obviously our soil can accept a small amount of this rain in such a short time, so the remaining water ends up puddling and running down the drain. The storm on Friday afternoon produced very strong winds that spread branches all over the course and even down some very large branches and trees. The weather station showed 1" falling in less than an hour "more like 10 minutes" and another .5" falling a couple hours later in less than an hour.

All of this, the day before our City Championship. The course sustained a great deal of damage to bunkers, with most of the sand washing down to the bottom of the traps. Dave and the guys did the best they could to clean up debris and cutting up fallen branches when they wanted to be trimming the place out and focusing on fine details for the tournament. We will continue to clean up the mess as we prepare to host two qualifiers for the Colorado Open on Thursday and Monday the 18th. Sorry there aren't more pictures, most of the damage was too painful to post.
