Golf Course/Irrigation

This hot windy dry spring weather has not been good for the golf course. We have had several days 20 degrees over average temperature, then top it off with the high wind speeds. Several areas on the course are in dire need of some moisture. 

The last three days we have put all of our effort into to getting water to some areas and also getting the irrigation system on. As of Wednesday we finally have all the main lines charged. If you have been on the course you have seen several valve box covers and sprinkler heads laying out. We have done this to help thaw frosted or frozen components. Currently we are in the process of going through the lateral lines and sprinkler heads. As of Wesnesday we have gone through all the greens, tees and six fairways. Now in these areas we still have some heads and valves still froze.
The plan for Thursday is to go through the rest of the course and see where we are at, hoping by the end of the week have most everything working. 

A good shower of rain would be very beneficial. 

I hope to see you on the course!!
