Abstract/Contents:Discusses potential challenges faced by golf course superintendents during periods of excessive rainfall, focusing on the potential negative effects of maintenance schedules, green speed, bunker maintenance, specific details, and golf schedules. Mentions that "explaining the challenges that are produced by frequent, heavy rain may seem simplistic, but the fact that there are so many comments regarding wet summers in the Mid-Atlantic Region being 'easy' indicates there is a need for education on this topic."
