The last few weeks we have been installing new irrigation primarily in rough areas that have previously lacked water. We completed 5 new areas of irrigation this fall and we did all of the work in-house.
New Irrigation
- 6 new heads along the right rough of #5 from 200 yards to 140 yards
- 5 new heads along the right rough of #5 from 80 yards up to the approach
- 5 new heads along the right rough of #6 from 100 yards up to the approach
- 1 new head on the hill in front of 4 White tee between 4 Green Tee
- 1 new head between #2 fairway bunker and #3 fairway
These upgrades will provide consistent rough and increased tolerance of the turf to cart traffic while providing aesthetically pleasing turf.
As quickly as we had these new areas of irrigation up and running we had to blow out the irrigation system this week and have the pump houses winterized in preparation for the cold temperatures coming over the weekend. Our pump houses are not heated and have expensive equipment inside that can be damaged by freezing temperatures so the forecast dictates when we have to shut down for the season.
