THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

This is a video of #10 fairway.  It is covered in mud and sand from the flooding.  This is how we remove the mud from the fairways.  We wet the material and push it off with bunker rakes and hand push squeegees until the turf is exposed.  We then run irrigation water on top to wash the excess mud off the leaf blades and believe it or not the area should recover 100% as long as it doesn't get extremely hot or flood again in the near future. 

DOWN CAME THE RAINS

Please bear with us as we clear the debris and revive the course from the weekend flooding... We received 2.6" of rain this Sunday evening in less than one hour...

If you are ever curious about the rainfall totals or the creek level you can visit http://www.stormwatch.com/Sites/Daily_Site_Readings.aspx . Be sure to look at the sensor located at Metcalf and the Tomahawk river... That sensor is actually on hole #10... Flood stage for us is 8' so anything above that and we are under water at Deer Creek.  The water level reached 13.2 feet Sunday Night so we had approximately 5.2' of water over many of the back nine holes.

As many of you know, we are really good at cleaning up flood debris.  Unfortunately we have had a lot of practice.  We will have the golf course back in shape for the weekend so don't hesitate to make your tee times now.
