Hole 7 Irrigation Changes

This week we finished installing extra irrigation heads and pipework into the two areas that were previously pathways on hole 7. The pipework and cable is pulled through the ground using a mole plough. The machine required for the job is hired in for the day from a local contractor.
With the pipe and cable installed the heads are then fitted in the desired locations, ensuring and even coveage of water will be possible when complete. These high wear areas require a relatively large amount of water to give sufficient growth to recover from the stress of constant foot traffic in a relatively tight space. Rope and posts will be used regularly here to direct traffic, spreading the wear as much as possible.
