Adding up the amount of rain over the last week, the total is over 5 inches, including a 3.5 inch deluge on Wednesday.  This put our on-course projects on hold maybe for the rest of the year as much of this work involved trenching into the soil.  With the course now officially closed for the season, the remaining staff members are removing the rest of the accessories off the course and preparing for winter maintenance including equipment repairs and accessory painting.

Jay and I attended a seminar yesterday in Waterloo put on by one of our good suppliers, Ontario Seed Company.  More than 300 people were in attendance and the speakers all hailed from the U.S., speaking about many new products that have come into the Canadian market in the last couple of years.

The drainage contractors, TDS, were on site on Monday to set up for their work on the 11th hole, however the weekend rains and the looming forecast prevented anything but a play-it-by-ear response.  We will need some considerably good weather to permit anything to be completed in December, however they will keep some of their equipment on site just in case.
