Day 12 - Saturday August 18


We are getting closer with drainage. The goal is to begin floating the green on Monday. We have two drainage systems in the green. Since the natural high point is in the middle of the green we had to separate the drains. The side closest to the pool is getting close to complete.

Here is an up close photo of the transit used to measure elevation. 








Now we are installing the irrigation around the green. We tapped into the valve from the mainline and are beginning to get our new HDPE line in around the green. There are 11 sprinklers around the green and three in the green. This line will also support numerous small spray heads around the outside of the green for the collar and rough. It is important to have separate irrigation for the green vs. the collar and rough. The main reason is that they are grown on different soils and have different water demands.




Here is where we ended up by day's end. Another great week with plenty more to come. The range closes tomorrow for 9 months.
