The cart path extension that was created last fall on hole 11 was laid through an irrigation head. The resulting traffic pattern left the irrigation head in the wheel track causing it to be driven over on a regular basis. On Monday, the head was driven over once too often.
While topdressing fairways for the last time on Monday, the tractor drove over the head and broke a fitting on the pipe. Unfortunately, in my haste to shut off the water, I did not have the peace of mind to capture the 20 feet high spray of water in pictures.
Fixing the leak is underway. We are currently stymied by a repair part that we did not have in inventory. This part should be here within two days, and the repairs can proceed. The fix will involve moving the head off the edge of the cart path to prevent these problems in the future.
