#12 drain project update

We continue to work on the drainage repair on #12. While it hasn’t gone exactly to plan, we are making progress.

We found an existing, working drain pipe on the left side of the cart path on #12. It just wasn’t in the lowest area as you would expect. It also did not continue further up into the wet area as we had hoped. However, our overall plan is still viable, with some minor tweaks. We will be running our new pipe in the opposite direction from what we expected and there will be a different layout of lateral drain lines than first thought. The trench that we have already completed is collecting water and funneling it in the direction we want, so the plan is working.

With work on the left side nearing completion, we have already started trenching over on the right side. This trench will go all the way to the drains that are part of the 12 and 13 fairway bunker complex. This is a much longer trench, but it is much simpler also. The entire project should be completed by early next week.

Also, as we move deeper into fall, please be aware of our leaf cleanup work that will be ever-present for the next month and a half. Blowers and our leaf vacuum will be out all of the time trying to stay on top of the mess.

Etiquette Reminder of the Month

Please leave bunker rakes inside the bunker once you are finished.

Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:

See you on the course!
