#6 Drainage
The right side of #6 fairway, just Southeast of the alternate driving range tee, continued to be a wet area this Spring. By installing new drainage last Fall, we thought the problem was resolved. However, the clogged clay tile diverted the settling water away from our new drain line. This caused the water to settle, runoff, and sit stagnant. By utilizing our Mini Excavator, we were able to remove the clay tile, and install new tributaries to our previously installed main drain line. These new French drains have been installed with the Herringbone design, this will help optimize the draining of the area and maintain the area as a dry playing surface in the future.
