This December's rain totals have been good for the course! The rains help leach out salts that have accumulated in our soils for all of 2012. This reduction of salts in the soil helps the plant take in water and nutrients with greater ease.
We have had 10 days of recorded rainfall this month, totaling 2.54". For the most part, the rain has been light and steady only getting about 1/3" at a time. Rain fall in this manner allows the course to maximize the rain rather than have have large amounts of runoff which can overwhelm the course.
We welcome the cold storm systems and the rains they brings to Southern California but most importantly, we welcome the snow that these systems bring to the Sierra Nevada's and our local mountains. Without snow pack in our mountains, our drought will likely continue.
As temperatures drop to and below 38 degrees, we will see frost on the course and could experience early morning delays. Please bear with us as we will do our best to get you out on the course. Driving range tee will shift mats during frost delays then return to the grass as temperatures rise.
Have a great new year and see you on the course.
