Why Is Our Course So Dry In Spots?



A big pat of the reason we have so many dry spots on the course is our lack of proper irrigation coverage on the course.  The other major problem is we have had a major irrigation leak every week for quite a few weeks in a row.  When this happens certain parts of the course do not get any water until we can fix the problem, which as of late has been extensive.  So next time you think we are not watering the course enough, there is probably a good reason why a certain part of the course is drier than others.  The pics above show a main line break next to the 11th green.  This fix is still ongoing as we ran into numerous issues down 4' in the ground with the old piping.  As mentioned before, other things on the course are not getting done as we attend to these 2 to 3 day fixes on the old irrigation system.
