Drainage at #9 Complete

The area on the right side of #9 golf hole near the clubhouse has been drained. Over 400 linear feet of drain tile was installed in the 2,000 SF area. Almost all of the work work was done by hand due to the area being above field capacity for so many years.

In the past this area was trimmed by hand each week to maintain somewhat of an acceptable appearance. This area should drain more effectively now and be able to be maintained with regular mowing equipment.

This area was not maintainable, unplayable and an eye soar for many years.
Matt and Arnold begin the only trench to be dug with a machine. The rest was dug by hand.
Colton Jones and Arnold begin filling in the first trench connecting the area to a stormwater basin.
All of the trenches in the wet area were dug by hand. The men did a great job with this physical assignment.
A seepage basin was added in the wettest area connecting drains from area properties and pipes. Now the water is all going to a central location and has an avenue to move off site.
