Arizona gets water from the Colorado River, otherwise it would be a desert in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. At our meeting today they were mentioning the situation is getting close to the drought of 2000-2001. I wasn't here then, but people who were agreed with that assessment. Bonifay is under the restrictions of watering the tees and greens 3X weekly and the fairways only once per week. The rough and landscaping on the course can't be watered at all. They are trying to maintain the other courses on reclaimed water over the next week or so. Once they dip into the wells, those courses will also be on the same restrictions. Pray for rain. Looks like next Thursday is the best chance in the near future.
