#17 green after another .9 inches of rain.  That makes it 5.15 inches for the month.  The average is about 4 inches.  This green is a push up style green.  It has poor drainage and floods in the back right corner after heavy rains.  I used a squeegee to push off the water.  If we continue to deep tine aerify in the fall, drainage should improve.

#10 and #18 greens were constructed close to a USGA spec green.  It drains properly and is playable shortly after heavy rains.  The main disadvantage to this type of green is during drought periods.  You will see use hand watering these greens durning dry conditions.  I would prefer this type of green to manage.


This is how we remove water from a cup  It had to do this to most of the greens today.  #10 and #18 were dry.
