#3 Green Day 5 and 6

We are slowly making our way towards the front of the green with just a few more things to do. This is taking longer than expected because of the problems we have found and the fact that its all manual labor. Friday we started to uncover the mainline out side the green to help facilitate a positive % slope. That was finished yesterday and we are confident that the main line will function as a drain rather than holding a pool of water. We finished the second drain install and the staff is shaping the third drain, the fourth line has been uncovered for inspection. We did find as suspected mud around the pipe. It appears this was caused by not having the trench wide enough. So as the pipe was laid in the ground during construction it was sitting next to the clay and the perforated drain holes on the pipe were clogging up. This will be widened and new gravel installed.
