So far, June has been an eventful month at Sugar Creek. We have had many beautiful days for golf. We've also had a tiny flood -- just a little one, no big deal!

One of our major accomplishments over the past few months was the replacement of our main irrigation pump and the renovation of the pumphouse plumbing. Thanks to the previous experience of our handy mechanic, we were able to do the work in-house and meticulously go over these pieces of equipment. I am now 99% sure this plumbing will hold on any given night. Last year, it was down to about 50/50. We got it up and running just in time for some dry weather, which all too quickly turned into wet weather.
Below you can see our beautiful new Berkeley pump and reassembled plumbing. The pumphouse is really the heart of any golf course. This pumphouse supplies the rest of the course with life at about 600 gallons per minute:

I'm thinking this has to be a mistake. The meteorologists are having a good laugh right now. OK guys, you can change it to the real forecast any time now!
Added June 19, 2011: I knew the forecast had to be wrong. It has turned out to be a beautiful Father's Day weekend in our area. Slight chance of a sprinkle later Sunday but I'm betting on it missing us.
