What a stretch. Dry conditions, followed by rain during the Stoddard Cup last week which delayed play and shortened the event to 27 holes. That was followed by high humidity and triple digit temperatures and then yesterday a pop up thunderstorm flooded the course and lightning took out the big oak by the 1st tee. Luckily nobody was injured but the weather has been extremely difficult to deal with. Our next big event this Friday the Arcola Cup the forecast is calling for much of the same, 1" of rain and thunderstorms. Now, we are moving up to a 7:30 shotgun to try and get at least 18 holes in. I can deal with the humidity but when you cant control the water applied to the grass, things can get dicey quickly. Again, my crew always rises to the occasion, whether we have to start at 4am or stay late, they make it happen and make us all look good. They are the unseen heroes at Arcola.
