Quick Fix

Many irrigation repairs are unplanned, which can make them challenging.  This past Thursday, a quick coupler (that we connect a hose to for hand watering) at #1 green broke off, leading to a river running down the approach and a deposit of mud on the front of the green. With this occurring 45 minutes before the first tee time, the team had to quickly jump into action.

While it wasn't the way we like to start the day, it was great to see the repair completed in less than an hour, with only one group having to play the hole as we worked on it. 

This does also highlight the fact that we have an irrigation system that was installed almost 38 years ago.  There is approximately 20 miles of pipe in the system, which is always under 115 PSI, whether sprinklers are running or not.
