XGD Nearing Completion

XGD drainage is being completed today on #6.  The process took about 11 days to do 4 greens.  This will mark the end of this project where greens 6,10,14 and 18 were addressed.  We now have 11 greens that have this system installed and will help firm up the greens quicker following significant rain events.  The key now is to continue to aerify, deep tine and drill and fill to help water get to the drain lines quicker.  This is a great tool to rejuvenate greens without rebuilding them.

XGD Underway

XGD Drainage has begun on the 18th green today.  A 2" pipe is installed on 6 foot spacing throughout the green to aid in drainage.  It takes 2-3 days from start to finish to complete 1 green.  This is a good tool to help with drainage without having to rebuild the green.  This fall we will be doing greens 6,10,14 and 18.  This will make 11 greens in total we will have this system installed.  It has really made a difference on the ones we did 4 years ago.

Verticutting Tees

We are using the Graden Sand Injector on the tees to remove thatch and get sand into the slits at the same time to help firm up the surfaces.  It is a time consuming project but beneficial in the long run.
