Bunker Drainage
 |
| Bunker Drain on #5 A few things the grounds department has been working on the past couple of weeks. We have finished the installation of our first bunker drain. After our initial visit with the Tour Agronomist one of the things they thought would be a benefit for the course is to install drains into our existing bunker tile lines. The reason for them is to allow us to either open the drains prior to a rain event or to open the drains after a surprise rain event. The one pictured was installed into the bunker on #5. Our hope was to allow the rain the most direct route into the drainage system and to hopefully take the silt that is washing into the bunker to also wash through the system. Our hope going forward is to install these into the worst of our bunkers first and then work toward getting all of them done. With sixty bunkers on the course this will be a process that takes some time to complete. |
