  Updates from around the club:

A few projects and maintenance items completed last week:


This week we had planned to make a post about our invasive vines that grow so quickly in our naturalized areas around the course, but our irrigation system had other plans!  We had luckily gone a couple of weeks without any major irrigation failures but that all ended on Monday.  On Monday we discovered a 12" mainline leak underneath the #10 tee.  Then a reducing coupling failed! 2'x8" that was buried under 5' of soil and encapsulated in 2 yards of concrete!!!  As you can see from the pictures below this was a major undertaking!  We are very fortunate to have such a hard working, dedicated irrigation repair team.


Excavation of the access hole 

Failed repair coupling encapsulated in 2 yards of concrete!

The digging and prep work continues

Backfilled prepped and ready for sod (next week)


AND....Then this happened Friday morning!
A 4" mainline break on Hole #15!!!
