The focus on drainage continues as we dug into the front of #18 green this past week. While several of the projects we have planned for the winter will be quite visible in the spring, hopefully these green drainage improvements won't be one of them.
That is, when corrected, it's unlikely that a former drainage issue on a green will be at the forefront of your mind. Nobody's going to be standing on the greens during a rain storm just waiting to see if a puddle forms, or not. Lets face it, when drainage works correctly, we often take it for granted. Just as in your home, only when there's a problem with a drain do we realize how important it is.

| Installing a new drain along the front of #18 green. |
On #18, in addition to improving the drainage from under the green, we also did some work on the surface. Once the sod was stripped, we shaved off an additional 1/2" of material from beneath, which was enough to allow water to run off the surface as it originally did.
