It never rains, but it pours: Course Drainage
As I sit here listening to the rain pound down, I was thinking of my earlybird round this morning at Hylands. Despite a night of rain, the course was in fantastic shape due being built on a giant pile of sand by the airport.
I'm going to head out tomorrow morning again during a break in the weather and expect the course to play fine. But this is not the case with many courses in the region, what with the Canadian Shield and generally swampy terrain. What other courses have excellent drainage?

In my 12 years as a member at Hylands, I can only remember one time when the course was closed due to water; and that was only for about an hour or so.

Are some courses going to have to close temporarily due to the volume me of rain this week?

Hylands and Hunt are pretty close, so not surprising that they have the same soil base.
Courses that are near / on wetlands like Eagle Creek and Loch March are probably soaked today. Even though we haven't had a lot of rain this summer the ground can only absorb it so fast.Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

I called Hammond---the lady said there are absolutely no golfers here but "the course is open"
Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?
