It is a moot point, I got my Primo/Proxy down Tuesday.....
The guy who actually designed this fishbowl actually got all the elevations on the putting surfaces correct. 17 seasons, at least 5- 500 year flood events. This one will probably rank #3 of the top 5. I haven't ventured across the creek and do an elevation measurement yet. Rainfall directly here is near 4". At the crest of the water, 17 freeway had about 48" on it.
Spent the day pumping the front nine bunkers and plowing sand, along with fixing the bridge on the 6th hole....
My problems stem the fact the course is bordered by the only main creek in the area, and it is the main drainage tributary from the east of us. And next to my #15 Green, 2 creeks merge....Had about 80 acres go under, now down to 40ish....
Had 4 controllers take a swim, 3 look OK, the 4th had an electrical issue in it and there are burn marks in the front cover. Could be a lightning issue, so I'll order 6 communication lightning surge suppressors and go from there. Take my spare box of irrigation components out and go from there,that's Monday's issue to deal with. Last time, the bill was about 2K for parts and repairs.
And finally...clubhouse was asked if the front nine will be available on Sunday...
As for my head, it is above water today.
