Drainage project hole #18


We are currently working on an area to the left of #18 green in the rough. This picture shows the amount of thatch buildup. You can see pretty clearly the 4 inches of  thatch. It's this buildup of thatch that creates such wet and soggy conditions out on the golf course.


By digging out some of these areas we have been able to find old drain lines unplug them and in some cases we've had to replace them with new ones. All of these areas will get fresh sod.




Once we've finished installing the pipes and new gravel it will be ready for sand and sod.
