Consider The Reset Button Pushed

June and early July had been relatively dry as far as rainfall goes. While we were sufficiently maintaing with irrigation, I was asking for the reset button to be pushed in terms of getting some good, flushing rain. Consider that button pushed! We've experienced over 8 inches of rain in the past week and more rain is beginning to fall at this moment.

Included with the summer storms comes lightning. Sometimes it's too close for comfort. A recent lightning strike hit a couple of our Washingtonian Palms on #1. Keep this strike in mind when deciding whether or not to keep golfing or take shelter.

The grounds department continues to progress nicely on the new retaining wall along the parking lot. The construction should be complete within the next 2 weeks leaving just the backfill and landscape work remaining.
