About a month ago, my assistant Tom mapped out the area and did a little research on the best solution for this area. What he came up with was to divide the area into three valves (sections) and place a special Rainbird nozzle on 4" pop-up type sprinklers that provided a larger droplet of water to help with drift. The entire length of the project is 500ft and includes 34 sprinklers. Last week our irrigation tech Hung and Tom installed the three valves and prepped for trenching.
We hope that this project provides a better a better visual appeal to the course as well as better conditions in this area. Maybe we can get the turf to become healthier and keep some balls from rolling into the lake? It will definitely help Hung in his irrigation duties as he was constantly having to drag hoses and emitters in this area throughout our growing season.
