Hello and welcome to The Greenkeeper! Today is Thursday, January 5, 2023 and let me start by wishing each of you a happy new year! I wish the first post for this year was a happy one, but unfortunately I need to share some course related news as it relates to the weather event experienced yesterday.
Yesterday the golf course encountered 1.87 inches of rainfall (47.5 mm). In fact, this was the fifth rain event of more than one inch since November 28th! The most recent was 1.75 inches (44.5 mm) on December 22nd and those of you that played in our Christmas Balls event the day prior probably saw me and members of my team working on Hole 8 to button up our drainage trenches with new sod.
Fortunately everything held together back on December 22, but yesterday's storm intensified between 9:00 and 9:30 am to an extreme rainfall rate shown on the U.S. Geological Survey's rain gauge located just down the street from us at Fire Station 10 on Wilkinson, Blvd. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/
In fact, it was at that same time lightning was detected near CGC and thunder shook the entire Turf Care Center. I quickly grabbed a screen shot of the radar in real time and posted to Twitter.

The line of red indicates the severity and rate of rainfall at that precise moment. When the storm finally passed and it was safe to patrol the course the gauges were emptied, SubAir activated, and several drain inlets cleared of debris. When I made my way down Hole 8 I encountered some displaced sod near the top of the hill and unfortunately one of those pieces blocked one of our newly installed surface inlets.

Minor in the overall scheme of things and easily repaired, but by inhibiting surface flow to move under ground it allowed for greater surface flow down stream at the steepest part of the hill. The power of nature contained in moving water is hard to describe, but it is why meteorologists urge everyone to use caution during heavy rain and floods.
They say pictures are worth 1000 words and I know the two pictures above look horrifical. But I assure you the comeback will far exceed the setback. As play resumes today I wanted you to be aware in case you see it before repairs are completed.
Sometimes I get asked is one inch of rain a lot. The answer is a resounding yes. Your home lawn can easily survive during the growing season on one inch of rain per week, so to receive one inch or more in a day or even just a few hours is extreme. One inch of rain spread across one acre contains roughly 27,000 gallons and weighs approximately 226,000 pounds. In other words, it is forceful.
In other news, our bunker renovation is in the final stretch. Holes 7-18 are completed and the greenside bunkers at 5 and 6 have the new Capillary bunker liner installed. Work has now commenced readying the greenside bunker on Hole 4 for liner installation. This leaves Hole 3 as the only hole on the golf course with unrenovated bunkers.
Following the completion of the bunker project Golf Course Services will remain on site to construct a hillock on Hole 16 designed by our golf course architect Kris Spence and then dredge our storm water retention pond to the left of Hole 15 before they say goodbye.
See you on the course,
Matthew Wharton, CGCS, MG

ReplyDeleteBig thanks to Mr Mark Toray one of the best binary options managers who have the best strategy and signals that can help you win every time you trade before meeting him I was scammed several times and I lost $28,000 to 2 different managers who claim they are real but turn into monsters the moment I fund my trading account but today I'm so grateful to Mr Mark Toray for coming to my rescue. I started trading with them with just $2000 to test the system they help me trade with my deposit and after 7 working days I made a withdrawal of $20,300. I was so amazed with the profit earned I posted this to those who are already given up on binary and Forex options and to the newbies take advice and be saved.. if you contact him tell him I referred you so that I will have my referring bonus.... you can contact him via marktoray8@gmail.com or telegram @mark4toray_fx You will be glad you did it.
Are you in great need of credit rebuild? In order to get better rates/ low interest loans. I strongly recommend JERRYLINK CREDIT GROUP. They are top notch in terms of credit fix. They helped me delete negative items on my report, and my score rose to excellent. They can be reached via mail: jerrylinkgroup@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAfter going through a messy repossession in 2020, my credit score dropped to Equifax: 512, TransUnion: 504, Experian: 509. All attempts to restore my creditworthiness to a good rating had been unsuccessful. About a month ago while I was browsing a credit blog, I came across a comment by Evelyn about 760Plus Credit Score. I reached out to them out of desperation, and asked if he could help fix my credit score too. He responded positively and I had to subscribe to his services. I pulled my score after several days as I was instructed. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my score had been boosted to Equifax: 781, TransUnion: 772, and Experian 779. I’m recommending their services as promised. Reach out to them via: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM
ReplyDeleteI started the year with a bad credit score, lingering debts and derogatory record which affected my ability to finance a new home, including a new car. I tried a few credit restoration firms but all were abortive until I saw a post about HACK VANISH CREDIT SPECIALIST. I reached out to them and surprisingly they helped cleaned-up my derogatory and raised my FICO score to 782 across all three bureaus, within a short period of time I got qualified for a new home, and also purchased my dream car. Anyone with related issues can reach out to them for assistance via [Hackvanish @ Gmail. Com] or Phone: (2 0 9 ) 3 3 0 - 3 0 4 7.
ReplyDeleteForget about the negative reviews you see there are still some legit managers Trading Bitcoin and Forex with a trusted account manager are what can make your dreams come through I have tried so many managers and I got scammed until I met Mr Mark Toray he's 100% legit and reliable All because of fear I decided to try it with Mr Mark Toray with a little amount of $2000 but to my greatest surprise Mr Mark Toray made me a profit of $20,200 within a week now I'm continuously earning not less than $25,000 - $40,000 anytime I invest with the minimum amount of $5000 within a week. Just so I also decided to post it out through recommendation just in case anyone might be interested!! Here's his Email: marktoray8@gmail.com or telegram @mark4toray Bitcoin is taking over the world
ReplyDelete“I invested with a Crypto broker without proper research to know what I was hoarding my hard-earned money into, only to find out it was a hoax and sham. I invested over $180,000 USD estimated to be 6.3 BTC. I was unable to make any withdrawals out of my initial deposits let alone the gains he claimed I have earned even after meeting the bogus fees and charges he is always requesting. Fortunately, I got to know about Perfect Hackers's Bitcoin recovery programmers through research and positive reviews on Google. After a couple of hours consulting with them, all my funds were recovered including my profits. I can’t thank these guys enough for making me not another prey to these scammers. Thank you Perfect Hackers. Consult them via: morriswhite789@cyberservices.com
