Blow Out


Blowing out Clubhouse Irrigation

As the temperature continues to drop, we have decided to blow out the irrigation systems around the clubhouse.  This is typically a two day process that will ensure no frozen pipes during the winter months.

On the golf course, it is not necessary to blow out the system due to deeper pipe depths.  With drain outlets that open up to the creek, we simply gravity drain the system during the month of December.  Occasionally, we are forced to fire up the irrigation in order to water greens.  Winter dessication is one of the primary causes of weak greens in the spring.

Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels for those of you heading out of town!
