Greens Drainage

There is currently about 4 - 5 inches of snow cover on the greens and golf course.  This amount varies in the undulations of the greens.  On January 25th there was a thin layer of ice accumulation in some areas from the warmer temperatures in the prior week.

The drainage trenches that were cut into the greens this fall for drainage have been exposed in case of a melt.  These drains allow the water to move quickly unobstructed off the greens, removing water before a refreeze.  Drainage was cut out on the following greens, 1,2,3,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,17,18.
