As we are in the midst of converting the 11th green to predominantly poa we also had to address the drainage issue with the green. Before, the water level of the pond was almost a foot above the main green drain, keeping water in the green drainage system for weeks on end. This week, we went in and added a pond drain that allowed us to lower the pond level a foot, keeping the green drain above water for the first time since the green was built. You can see in the circle in the picture the green drain in the rocks and the pond was just filled until it started to flow out of the pond drain. Even after heavy rains, the pond will eventually return to this level after a day or so. With the pipe in stock, this project cost us about 6 man hours of labor to complete.
