| Checking the grade of trench |
This afternoon, the grounds staff completed the installation of a new drainage structure along the cart path at #18 tee box. The staff installed three catch basins in key areas along the path to allow the surface water to move underground. The cart path has a subtle low spot which kept the water from naturally moving downhill and out of the way. Water would collect in low spots along the path as a result. Golfers and maintenance staff that would pull off the path would cause these wet spots to turn into potholes. Once the potholes developed, the areas would never dry up resulting in a persistant problem.
Now that the drainage is in place, the cart path edge will stay dry and we shouldn't have any problems with potholes any more. Since we have fresh sod down, I would like to remind everyone to please use caution while walking to and from the cart path, as the sod has not rooting into the ground and it could be unstable. The area has been roped off to keep carts on the path and we ask that golfers slow down as they drive through this area. With your help, we can keep the area as nice as possible.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
