A total of 170mm for last week and we certainly dodged a bullet on Sunday afternoon when the low pressure system hit landfall south of us.  It could have been so much worse than just being as wet as we are.  The River came within 75mm (three inches) of coming over the levee bank on Monday mornings high tide.

The heavy rain has caused quite a bit of wash on the River greens which is a combination of some of the de-thatching material that didn't get picked up and unfortunately also some of the amendments that were either applied or mixed in the sand.  The greens are recovering very slowly and no sun following the renovation has growth levels at a very low rate despite the fertiliser.  They will get mown today and then slowly be bought back down to normal mowing height over the coming weeks.  But it will be a slow recovery period although some good high temperatures have been forecast for late in this week which will help enormously. 

I will be taking some leave for a couple of weeks so the Blog will also have a rest.
