When Dave Merritt, assistant golf course superintendent, got to the shop this morning he noticed the pumps were pumping 900 gallons per minute. This is not good. A thrust block at #1 green had busted at 8:56pm last night causing the 900 gallons per minute to run for about 10 hours. We started right at 7am with the crew and had #1 playable by the first tee time at 9am. The following pictures are a timeline of the cleanup. The crew did such an awesome job, no one would have known what we went through before play today.

| #1 Green this afternoon. The maintenance crew did a tremendous job getting this green playable today. |
Nice job guys!
