What is the Black Mark Behind 4's Green?

You're never too old to learn something stupid.

On Monday, on the very first hole, one of our old triplexes (20 years old) had a massive hydraulic blowout right behind 4's green.  The good news is that it did not hit the green at all and we got charcoal on it quickly thus leaving the very noticeable black spot and trail.  This will go away soon and the area will recover.

A very big special thanks goes to Bob Dobek for loaning us the sand trailer for hauling topdressing sand.  If it weren't for this trailer we would have never finished the greens on time thus potentially inferring with play.  Thanks to the loan this never came to fruition and even with all the problem we had we still finished the greens on-time.  Hopefully, by tomorrow we will have finished the tees, approaches & fairways.
