We have been working hard preparing for the 114th Men's Invitational, but Mother Nature is not making it an easy task. Rain storms have continued almost daily, flooding fairways, washing the sand out of the bunkers and washing out the cart paths. We have had to use portable pumps to remove the water from some of the bunkers and then push the sand back into place. We have had to move the cart path material back where it belongs and grade it smooth again. It has made mowing very difficult and machine operators have to be on their A-game so as to not damage any of the delicate turf. We have continued mowing and rolling the greens to maintain an acceptable green speed, but the rain has made the greens soft and are not as fast as we had planned. We will continue doing all we can to make the golf course the best it can be under these conditions. The pictures below were taken on Wednesday morning, the day before the Invitational qualifying day.
