Usually during the spring start up of the irrigation system I expect to clean the irrigation heads to make sure they are operating properly. Early last week when we began to irrigate after the previous weekends rain, I noticed a lot of irrigation heads were not working properly and throwing the water as it normally should. This began a mad dash to check all the irrigation heads to make sure the irrigation heads were working properly and clean the heads that needed it. On Thursday, myself and Cesar were able check/clean all the irrigation heads on the course. This was done just in time as the heat required numerous syringe cycles to keep the turf cool and the course in great condition. With the cooler temperatures and the .5 inches of rain this morning, I can say the course held up well and should get some recovery time before the next punch that Mother Nature will surely throw.
