What have we been up to?

Replacing three of our 24 station controllers on #13 with a brand new 72 station Rainbird Par ES controller.
This will enable us to use the old ones as backup parts for the rest of our system as they do not make our specific model of irrigation controllers anymore!

Yes, we started another drainage project on the right of #11 near the tree line today.  This hole has come a long way since last season in terms of how it drains. 


Here is another small drainage project we knocked off the list last week in the middle of #11 fairway.

We had a fitting on one of our 2" lateral lines that sprung a slow leak on the 18th fairway, making the area wet.  As our system ages, we have been seeing fittings fail in this manner on a more frequent basis.  We dug it up, cut the pipe, replaced the fitting and put it back together.  It took a bit of time to get this one fixed as the sides of the hole kept caving in on top of the pipe, making for some difficult and frustrating work.  Finally got it taken care of though!

Just a quick shot of #14.  I am loving the back and white mowing pattern on the fairways, it looks so clean!
