Irrigation improvements to #7 tee box

As or winter projects season continues we have focused our latest efforts on #7 tee box. The irrigation that was installed on this teeing area 4 years ago was inadequate and caused us to have to run supplemental irrigation throughout the summer to keep the grass alive.
With an irrigation clock close by and 3 empty stations inside the clock we have added 3 new part circle sprinklers along the right side of the cart path. We also moved the other 8 sprinklers on and around the tee box to maximize the coverage, while also converting 5 of those sprinklers from full circle to part circles (roughly 180 degree) . This will hopefully eliminate the need to hand water or supply supplemental sprinklers when the summer season comes along. The pictures below are of our irrigation tech Hung and his relentless hard work during this project.
