Dear Members,

Again last night we received quite a bit of rain (1.5”) bringing our rain total to 6.5” over the past week. As many of you are well aware, the Country Club of Orlando is considered a very wet golf course due to drainage and soil issues. After having a very successful Summer of strong maintenance practices our strong and healthy turf is now being compromised by large areas of standing water and excessively wet areas which are not able to be mowed. One of the biggest issues we are currently evaluating with a civil is engineer is getting water “off campus”. Let me explain, even if the golf course had drainage which operated efficiently through siphons and pumps, which we currently rely mainly just on surface drainage, once the water is drained into the out-falls or ponds, where does it go? As stated before, we are working on solving one of these pieces of our drainage problem puzzle as water currently does not efficiently leave our property.
