Golf Course Maintenance Update

As of this posting, March has been one of the wettest on record. So far for the month of March, here at Canterwood we have received 9.32 inches of rain, well above our average of 5.67 inches. What does this mean for the golf course? Needless to say, some pretty soggy conditions. All and all though, it has come through with flying colors. We've had very few washouts in the bunkers and almost all of them have been draining well. The drains that have been installed over the past several years throughout the golf course are working very well also.
Below are some pictures taken recently of some work we've done on #3 tee/#7 green - Left of #5green - #15 walk path and the finished drainage on #5 fairway.

We are all hoping for a drier April, but as they say, "April showers bring May flowers". Let's just hope they are wrong on the showers part!
