Unfortunately, you can't buy rain. All the courses except Orange Blossom are on water restrictions that limit watering to one day on fairway and two days on greens. There is just so much you can do to maintain turfgrass that is subject to the traffic we have here without adequate water. All the courses that started to green up after the late June rains are now starting to show the stress of lack of water.
