XGD drainage installation was completed this week on three greens. Last year XGD drainage was installed on our two wettest greens, 1 and 6. The drainage worked excellent last year so we felt it was necessary to continue the process on our next three wettest greens. Greens 4, 11 and 17 were completed earlier this week. The process takes about 2 days per green depending on the amount of additional work that is required. All three greens, in addition to the drainage work, we had the company re-contour a few birdbaths to improve surface drainage. 17 green had 3 major birdbaths that needed to be corrected. With the improved surface drainage and the internal drainage we should see more consistent moisture levels in the greens soil profile and in the long term, healthier turf throughout the season.

Tamping the drain lines. These guys never miss the hole.

Re-contouring the front right of 17. A perpetual birdbath no more.
Extremely intriguing online journal. A lot of web journals I see nowadays don't generally give anything that I'm keen on, however I'm most definitely inspired by this one. Recently felt that I would post and let you know.
