Putting in laterals

Here are a few photos of installing the irrigation heads on #6. The green half is done and by the end of today, the entire hole should be complete.
As you see in the second picture, the heads are laid out to the location where they will be installed. Notice two heads next to each other around the green. One head is meant to water the green only and the other head is meant to water the rough off the green only. This design give us more control on where to put water when needed. When you have one plant that is mowed at an 1/8th of an inch and another plant that is mowed at 2.5 inches, there demand for water will be different. The old system required both areas to receive the same amount of water.

  1. Did those rocks come out of the trenches for the laterals?

  2. Yes, many of the lateral pulls came up with plenty of rock that needed to be pulled. Do you want some?
