We will make sure all the drainage on the golf course is clear of debris and working properly. We are going to check the culverts that move water under the golf course from outlying areas to make sure they are clear and able to accept water properly. Large amounts of rain in a short period of time will cause run off issues. Depending on the severity of rain we will be diligent on cleaning the property up quickly after any washouts take place. We are also going to check our perimeter fence after the storm to ensure we have not had any damage to the fence.
In the three years I have been in The Rim Country and the five years I have been in the Valley this is by far the largest storm that I have seen forecasted. The moisture is definitely a plus for our state. After a dry year the reservoirs may begin to fill up.
If you have any questions about the upcoming storm and how we are preparing the golf course please contact me.
