It's starting to rain!

Well the irrigation system is finally taking shape.  The system is fully installed, pump houses up and running and fine tuning starting to take place.  In the coming weeks you will see heads that weep, sprinklers popping up from time to time and many of our staff on our hands and knees adjusting and documenting the settings we have made.  This part of the process is very time consuming, but necessary to begin to take advantage of all the benefits of our new system.

Because we did not have access to water during the installation we have a lot of flushing of old debris that has been sitting in pipes for the past 6 months.  This all takes time to work itself out and develop a good seal on all the sprinklers.  If you see anything odd please find myself or notify anyone on my staff and we will look at it immediately.

This photo demonstrates some of our capability and the excitment we have when we see 10 sprinklers running at the same time and they are all only watering the rough!  We can't wait to tweak this system to match the golf course.  In the meantime please excuse us while we try to learn the system and I apologize if we surprise you with a random sprinkler turning on near you.
