The irrigation project is going very smooth. The mainline is done on holes 3-9. We will be going down #10 Monday and connecting to the pump house. This week the crew will be on holes 1,2 and 18. The ditches have given me a unique look into what lye's beneath our golf course. We've installed 6 miles of drainage at Wing Point over th elast 6 years, but not to the depths Milroy is digging. The variations in the soil structure 36 inches deep is really interesting. We are finding out why some areas seem to stay much wetter than others. The amount of groundwater is incredible which goes to show you how much rainfall we've had the last 4 months.
The greens are recovering nicely. 2/3 of them are in perfect shape, but some of them like #5, 7, and 13 need another week or two for full recovery. #4, 10, 15, 16 and the putter are all getting better, but still far too weak and thin to allow golfer traffic. The weather has been wonderful for both the project and the greens recovery, so let's hope it continues.
