Winter Irrigation



With daytime high temperature this week in the mid- to upper-40's, we took the opportunity to recharge the irrigation system and get water out onto the golf course. The main focus was high, dry fairways but everything got a little water while we were out there.

With the nice weather we also took some time to draw out and plan some of the drainage that is desperately needed on #8 fairway. Due to the severe slope and low-laying nature of this fairway, it is critical for us to address all of the drainage issues sooner rather than later. ost of the turf lost this past summer was due to copious amounts of free water standing on the fairways after rain events.
