Night Watering

Published June 6, 2008

Occasionally, when running a nightime irrigation cycle, a sprinkler head will stick on. Depending on the start time, a "stuck head" could run all night long (12 hours). Our water source has a lot of minerals in it and a scale forms inside of the piping in the irrigation system. Sometimes a piece of scale will break off and clog the mechanism that operates the sprinkler head, causing it to stay on. In this case, it was a head on the lower part of #13 fairway. I think this fairway has enough water for a while.

"As beautiful as trees are, and as fond as you and I are of them, we still must not lose sight of the fact there is a limited place for them in golf. We must not allow our sentiments to crowd out the real intent of a golf course, that of providing fair playing conditions. If it in any way interferes with a properly played stroke, I think the tree is an unfair hazard and should not be allowed to stand."
Donald Ross, from "Golf Has Never Failed Me"
