An amazing effort once again by the crew on the daunting task that confronted them when they arrived this morning.  The courses were unplayable and thus why they were closed for the day but to be honest if you hit the ball straight down the middle right now and don't look sideways or into the bunkers, you would barely know anything happened.  We have all the River course playing surfaces cleared and ready for play and only about half the West but all greens and tees are fine.  We lost count of the number of loads taken to the tree dump but it was literally dozens with our Bobcat operator not stopping all day.  Two new staff members join the crew next Monday and they are in for a rough start with probably a week shovelling bunkers!!

We finished up with 75mm with a few late showers on Thursday which is nearly double what most sites in the Northern rivers received.  That takes us to just shy of 250mm for January and since November 11 we have now had 993mm or just shy of 40 inches.  Just WOW. 

The rain forecast for the weekend isn't good but with no further rain carts will be good for the River course on Saturday and a decision made in the morning for the West.
