The weather stayed nice, so we pushed forward on our drain projects. We hoped to complete either the drain in #3 fairway or the drain in #10 fairway before Christmas. Well, today is the 20th and both projects have been completed for over a week.
In both cases, we added drains to areas that regularly get
and stay wet but are just out of reach of some other drainage nearby. These were
either small pockets of low areas where the water cannot continue flowing to an
adjacent drain or the nearest drain is just too far.
Luckily, we were still close enough to tie into existing
drainage. Using drains that we know already work, keeps us from having to
create a full exit strategy for the water we are trying to capture. Feeding our
pipe into a working drain saves us lots of labor and disruption.
We are slowly eliminating small wet areas around the course.
Each season we tackle a few more and each season the course can manage water a
little better.
Happy Holidays
