Soggy start to July

We have had a very wet start to the month of July. It has been a wet spring and summer already but the month of July has just been miserable to be working outdoors. In the last 5 days we have had just over 6 inches of rain. And these are not just small showers with a little rain these are torrential downpours that create washouts in our bunkers, on the cart paths, and in the mulch beds.  We have been able to clean everything up just about everyday.  The guys are growing weary of pushing up bunkers but we will do it everyday we have too. We are just very thankful for the bunker renovation that we were able to perform 4 years ago or we would still be pumping out the 1.6" of rain that we got last Wednesday, then the 1.9" on Thursday, then the 1.1" on Friday, then the 0.5" on Saturday, and the 1.0" on Sunday. For the most part we have dodged the strong winds that have been associated with these storms.  Here are a few pictures that I took over the weekend.
