Now that it finally rained a bit, the pumps can get a break and we can send 4 staff members out to remove the nozzles on every head on the course. Over time small particles find their way into the heads and alter the coverage of the sprinkler head, leading to discolored or under watered turf. While this is an extremely time consuming process, it is vital in the health of our turf this summer. We already found numerous heads that were clogged to some degree. Without any measurable rainfall for almost 4-6 weeks, the golf course is at the mercy of our sprinkler heads and design to get through the dry spells.
