Despite a nice little reprieve last week from the persistent rains we could be falling back into that very same weather pattern. Last night (7/21) we had a storm that affected both our two courses. The Farm recorded 1.6 inches of rainfall while the Irving Park course received a little over 3 inches.

| Creek Inundated Bunker |

| More Bunker Washing |

| Tree Damage |
The Irving Park course was by far the most affected of the two courses with severely washed out bunkers and a significant amount of tree and creek debris for the staff to cleanup and remove. The effect, especially at Irving Park, is the staff loses an entire day or more of mowing and conditioning to cleanup the damage left by this storm and to allow the course a chance to dry out. While we hope this will be the last and only storm of the week the forecast does have higher than normal rain percentages for the next few days. The real effect is we lose a lot of valuable manpower working on storm cleanup that we cannot makeup and all from a storm that will be long forgotten by the competitors of this weekend's event.
