We have had 261mm of rain so far this month.
It’s been a wet one. Hoping for a dry November.

I don’t know the exact measurements but my Vileda mop bucket, sat in the back garden has filled up one and a half times in about 3 weeks.

The stream that runs through our course has burst its banks putting some areas underwater ðŸ™

How often does that happen?
Down here in southern Andalucia we don't get a huge amount of rain, maybe 5-6 days a year at the very most. However, of those, at least a couple of occasions it will cause flooding. The rain falls on rock hard ground, and soaking through doesn't happen very well.
We might lose a day a year to rain. Sounds great doesn't it. BUT a significant number of players put their clubs away in August because its too hot. During one round this Aug I got through 3.5 litres of water by the 16th tee yet still struggled by the time I walked off the 18th - it was 42*.
Sept/Oct/Nov is fantastic for golf, and its relatively quiet. Dec through to April sees a huge number of Scandanavians out here golfing/cycling/walking, and getting tee times can be difficult if left till the last minute.
PS, today is a golf day for me. There will be a sleeveless top over the polo for a couple of holes but still shorts through to late Jan/Feb for a month.

Played nine holes last night on back nine which is our wetter nine. Bunkers have recovered superbly. A few damp patches on the approaches to greens but all in all very dry considering. Rough now very wet and lush and definitely to be avoided

...this weather - it's raining again...
Fortunately - apart from a few areas - the course drains quickly - and the greens can go from flooded to clear in 20minutes.
But I am not inclined to go out of an evening for a few holes when it is tippling down.

Streams around the area are up to a higher level than they normally are at this time of year.
Fortunately it looks like it could be relatively dry for a week or so after today.....

Our Head Greenkeeper reports course has taken 7" of rain in the last three weeks, greens draining quickly and fairways coping well but starting to see some areas of standing water. Good thing is that a couple or three days dry will see the back of the standing water and very wet areas.

Some very boggy areas now and the green staff have started to rope off approaches to the greens so trolleys and buggies have to go around them. That said in general terms the back nine is still holding up well (wettest nine) and with strong winds due it should help dry it out

Would happen on the first day I've been able to play for a week and a half........
