Limbs from a Locust tree at #8 tee. A quick micro burst with .55 inches of rain hit Lansing on Saturday. This will take a couple of days to clean up. Most of the crew can come on Sunday to start the removal of branches. Power went out again. Scott was able to get 3 generators going quickly.
The area with the most debris is #12.
Guy Liptack purchased new white flags. With budget cuts, we have tried to extend the life of some items on the course.
This is common on courses around Chicago this year. The 2 inches of rain a couple of weeks ago, followed by heat, put a some of our fairways over the edge. This was a result of poor drainage and week varieties of turf. Poa annua, Poa trivialis both couldn't handle the conditions. With Fall coming, I'm hoping it will fill in naturally. If not, we will aerify and seed. The last few years, we have improved drainage, but still have several holes to work on.
