New sprinklers operating on the 4th fairway
Sorry for the lack of updates over the past couple of weeks, the reason for this is because I had to take some time off and fly to the UK for family reasons. In the time that I have been away stage one of the irrigation upgrade has been completed, with only a practical completion walk-through to be carried out on Thursday next week. As you can see the centre row of sprinklers on the 4th fairway have good pressure and provide excellent coverage. The new pump station and improved sprinkler layout will give us much greater flexibility with our watering of the holes completed, as well as providing less stress on the old system and more even pressure across the rest of the course.
Course staff have been very busy in my absence with the Vardon and numerous trade days to prepare for, as well as working with the irrigation contractors to complete stage one. Today has brought us some much needed rain which has enabled us to spray the majority of fairways with an application of wetting agent to aid with water infiltration over the coming weeks. The remainder of fairways will be sprayed early next week to complete the process.
One of the strange things you get to see on a golf course!
