Heavy Rains Last Week

If you were in the metro Atlanta area last week you are well aware of the heavy downpours we received last Monday and Wednesday.  On Monday, we had heavy downpours of rain that totaled 1 inch in about an hour and a half.  On Wednesday, a much heavier line of storms came through and brought another 3.1 inches of rain to an already saturated golf course.  The storms Wednesday also included winds that were strong to enough to topple a large pine tree on hole #1.  This weather trashed the golf course by washing out the bunkers, blowing debris from the trees everywhere, and making the grass impossible to drive on without doing damage.  Take a look at some of the pictures from the aftermath below!


Just to put it into perspective the 4 inches of total rain this week is more than we had from August 1st to November 28th 2016!  That is more rain in a 3 days span than almost 4 months last Fall!!
