Yes, this year has been the winter of drainage projects. As previously posted numerous areas have been equipped with new and sometimes improved drainage. We try to save small projects when we have frost in the mornings and one of these happens to be the drainage on 15. Back ground on the area is there were two wet spots that were near the path. We assumed one was from the bunker drain in front of the green, we did not realize that the other drain was our greens main drain line that just day lighted next to the path. To remedy this situation we installed 2 basins, the first being at the exit point for the bunker and the second at the exit point of the green drain line, both have been connected. The choice of installing two basins was first to catch any surface water from the path and second if the need arises we can chase back up the pipes if we need to clean them out. We then proceeded to cut the path and have it dumped into the native area.
Pipe sticking out is from the bunker.
Bottom of the picture is the green drain line exit point.
Cut path where the pipe will exit.
Another area of concern is on 18, the picture was taken last year in the spring. This will also be worked on when there are days of heavy frost in the days to come.
