Irrigation breaks and new equipment

Hole in sprinkler riser

Our new blower

I know I sound like a broken record when I say this week we fixed irrigation but its the truth and from what I see there is a lot more to go.  In the photo you can see a hole in the pipe and thus a lot of standing water around the chipping green.  It was fixed with a pvc pipe and the area should now start to dry out.  We received a few more pieces of new equipment including a new greens mower and a new pull behind blower both are huge assets to the course.  Also in week 11, Rob and myself have been training staff members to mow greens, fairways, tees, and approaches.  Because it is no fun golfing around loud equipment our goal is to get all the short grass mowing done before play.
