In March, the maintenance crew added a new drain under the cart path on #1 to prevent flooding and ice related problems along the path. Almost every year, ice kills a portion of this turf. Seed was not growing fast enough for us due to our cool, wet April so we decided to sod the area to completely restore it. Here are some before and after pictures:
This area could still benefit from the addition of some sub-surface drain lines but the new catch basin will greatly reduce the amount of water hung up on the high side of the path. Something tells me this will not be the last drainage project done in this area, but it is greatly improved.
