After a good 10 days of sunlight and drying weather, we were hit with a very nasty storm. I was fortunate enough to be out playing in the Wednesday comp this week when at about 3.30pm a massive storm swept over most of Brisbane. Within 20 mins we received 37mm, (an inch and a half) the rain was as heavy as I have seen any where. The water was flowing across the road on the first and level was about a foot above the dam the whole way across to the main dam.
The majority of the course handled the rain very well, although the bunkers were again trashed, many full of water and the majority were washed out. although this is good to settle the new sand, it is a massive amount of work for the groundstaff. All of the bunker bar 2 are back in play, so the weekend should be as per normal.
Happy Golfing
