Warm And Dry...= Supplemental Irrigation For Us!


As the above photos show, when it gets dry and hot, we have no choice but to run "mobile" sprinklers around the course to supplement the insufficient coverage of our irrigation system.  The irrigation system covers only most of the short cut areas, so any rough area in play needs to be watered by our staff manually which takes up an extra 2 people during hot periods.

Another Problem Drainage Area Fixed!




The eye sore that existed on 11 approach is now fixed.  As is visible from the second picture down from the top, the drain was there but at some point in the past was not put in the low spot of the area.  We were left with a wet spot that never drained and we eventually lost all the grass in the area.  We found the drain pipe that ran through the area and simply tapped into it.  The area will never be an issue again!
