The severe weather this week has been less then ideal for getting even routine maintenance done on the golf course. Fortunately, given that there was a tornado in Verona earlier in the week, the course did not suffer any major damage due to fallen trees or broken course accessories. We had a few large limbs fall but nothing too disruptive to play. The biggest headache from the strong winds is cleaning up the small and medium sized sticks that litter the course after storms like this one.
In addition to the strong winds, the course has also received over 3" of rain since Monday night. This has caused the bunkers to wash out, the greens and fairways to become soft and getting carts and maintenance vehicles around the course a challenge. When the course is so saturated, getting any mowing done becomes difficult.
