We began installing drainage today on hole 4. The piping network starts in the bunker on the left and flows into the pond. We also improved run off installing drainage along the cartpath at the front tees on hole 5.
We found old drainage coming out of the bunker that had been severed and crushed during the irrigation install back in 1999-2000. Yes, the bunker has had less than adequate drainage performance for almost 13 years, leaving it water logged and unplayable.
Drainage plays such an important role with healthy, playable conditions. It is also so very easy to forget about because it is something you can not see. However, just like everything else, it too needs regular maintenance and attention to perform properly.
This work being done now will aid in better playability and will allow for dryer, more consistent conditions.
Thank you for your patience during these overdue installations.
