You would probably be surprised that the driest area on this fairway is right next to the sprinkler heads on 4 fairway and others. The reason is when we aerate with the tractor, we lift up around the heads so we do not damage them, often times missing a few feet around each head. Over time, thatch builds up and water cannot penetrate to the roots.
Here you will see we went out and hand aerified around every fairway head to ensure we can lessen this problem. Of course next year we will have a new irrigation system and most likely the heads will not be in the same location as they are now so we will be starting all over again in another year or two.
