Drainage Work on #10 Fairway

Our recent attempt to drain the terribly wet landing area on the 10th fairway.  We rented an 8' auger attachment for our skid steer.  We then installed a vertical riser pipe which will have a metal grate on top to collect surface water.  We will then be trenching in pipe to divert water into the sump.  We did run into some clay at a depth of 6', which would explain why the area does not drain very well.  The hope is that the sump will collect the water and slowly drain through to the bedrock beneath.

New Driving Range Target Flags And Pins

Above is the new look of what we will be installing on the driving range as target flags this spring.  The post is a 4x4 that we will concrete in the ground at every given yardage to create a much neater and more visible target for golfers to aim at while practicing on the driving range.  We feel these pins will be a big improvement for golfers looking to have something a little bigger to aim at as opposed to the skinny, barely visible flags we have had in the past.
