Getting Caught Up


OK I am back, it has been a bit of a hectic week but things are going great here at the golf course. We have water, stable water to the entire course. We have new heads installed as well. But I don't want to get too ahead of myself. I have lots of blogging to do.
As I mentioned earlier, Monday was a rough day especially with the hot and dry weather. Irrigation water or not, it was dry. We got things online by 1am on Tuesday morning. Since then we have has a few minor breaks but we have been able to get water to most of the course and currently all 18 holes. Heavy watering will occur in the meantime to get the turf back into shape on the front nine. There are a few rough areas but nothing we cannot conquer and have back into playing shape soon. The back nine is in great shape right now and getting busy with golf.
Pictured here is Dustin, one of our interns. He is holding up a 1 1/2 inch pipe that was under the cart path on 14. This pipe continued to spiral and break. The total length was about 40 feet of broken pipe. It was a bear to fix, but Landscapes came to the rescue last Saturday to help us out. They made a permanent solution for a temporary situation.
Stay tuned for more about water, new irrigation heads, updates on #3 and planting new trees.
