Thunder, rain and no cutting today

We were going to finish the drainage off today on the 23rd hole, get all 1-18 cut up for the gents open day tomorrow however 35 minutes into the day we had another torrential thunderstorm closing the course and stopping any attempts to get any grass cutting done. We had another 28mm of rainfall this morning and water stood in places that were beyond belief. With no cutting done today there will be some long areas come Monday and alot of catching up to do!
