“Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful”

Wow! What a storm!!! As I write this blog Shady Canyon has received 12″ of rain since the beginning of the storm on Friday, December 17, during the Men’s ‘Ho! Ho! Ho! Tournament.’ Attached are a few photos of the course and our natural waterfall on the 14^th hole.

The golf course will open tomorrow, Thursday 12/23 with a few rough edges. The storm has washed out the bunkers and walking paths to the tees. The priority the next few days will be getting these areas back in “Shady Canyon” shape. The greens have not been mowed since December 17. It will be interesting to see what they “stimp” tomorrow before and after we cut them. We may have to raise the height of cut to make sure they do not get scalped. Our mechanics will be on hand to make sure any needed adjustments are made.

Wishing you and yours and Wondrous and Prosperous Holiday and New Year!

Hole # 6

Creek crossing to 15 white tee.

Bunker repairs will be on going for a few days.

Mother Nature did some selective pruning for us but she neglected to clean up after herself.

Quite a few areas on the course need to drain overnight to allow us to begin our cleanup efforts. High water did keep us from getting around today in the rain. Some cart paths had water levels over the floorboard of my cart.
