With the wet weather recently, who needs an irrigation system? Truth is, with regular rainfall you don't need an irrigation system. If we can find a way to schedule Mother Nature to provide about one inch of rain per week, we would be all set. Of course turf managers are particular and want to be able to control the time and the volume of each rain. Not too much to ask right? We'll keep working on that but until then, the irrigation system will remain an important tool in maintaining the course. The start of installation is fast approaching and final preparations have been made. The entire Team is excited about the challenge ahead.
The wet weather has also created quite a challenge for the IGM team to maintain and prepare the course for the recent events and the Member/Guest which right around the corner. From washed out bunkers to the disruption of mowing frequencies, the rain has thrown a pretty big wrench in our plans. We are working diligently to clean up, make repairs and get the course prepared. With more rain in the forecast for next Tuesday, seems we can't catch a break. We expect some very long work days over the next week and hope everyone can proud of the results.
