Drainage Basin Upgrade

During the rainy season in Southern California (hopefully November through to late March), drainage or the ability to mitigate water is a nemesis for most golf courses.  We are no different and given our soil composition, we battle "soggy" conditions in isolated areas throughout the entire year.  This January we addressed a problematic area just shy of our typical landing area on Hole #10.  This particular catch basin has sported a rope barrier to prevent cart traffic from intruding within the area since practically the day I started.  I'm confident that the addition of 4" slotted drain tile and gravel will alleviate the  requirement for roping and improve playability for those who land their shot within the vicinity.
