Arcola Cup 2012

What a summer.  We have encountered numerous heat waves already this summer, no rain for almost a month and then the day of the Arcola Cup, Mother Nature finally cooperates and gives us much needed rainfall.  2 days before the event, temperatures were 103 degrees and the day of the Arcola Cup, the temps never made it past 72 degrees.  The crew has worked extremely hard keeping grass alive with no rain, a limited water allocation and extreme heat and when we could showcase the course it rained the entire day.  Here, the crew is getting water off the 18th green so the last group on the course can finish their 18th hole to make the tournament offical and the rain shortened event finished with one person breaking par.
