Rain

     Yesterday it started raining around 9:30 a.m. by the time I left work around 3:30 p.m. we had over 1 inch of rain in the gauge.  This morning when came in and my rain gauge was almost half full.  My gauge will hold 11 inches of rain.  I dumped 4.75 inches out of the gauge.  Needless to say Golf Course is soaked.  Water running everywhere.  We did lose a tree on #12.  Big Oak tree in the right rough fell over crossing the cart path about 30 yards from forward tee.  Too much weight hanging towards cart path.  With all the rain tree up rooted. We did get it cleaned up so carts can get by.  We will finish cleaning up the rest of tree when it dries down.  Below are a few pictures of how much water we got and the downed tree on #12.

# 10 Lake water going through emergency spillway.  Notice the Locust tree water boiling up against it.

This is looking back down # 10 towards bridge.  Water is up in 10 rough.
