Let the golfers complain about the courses being closed.

This would be great - and seems to always be great. Except the Villages have already undergone a rather long stretch of rain, and the soil is already fairly saturated from diverting the retention ponds for the past few weeks.
If they get dumped on in just a few more days, it might be more than they can handle if there's no place left for the water to go.
I wouldn't panic, but I wouldn't be in denial of the distinct possibility either. Cautious optimism seems to be the most appropriate approach at this point.
In other words - trust in the lord, but tie up your camel.
