Converting the Dye
Course to Individual Sprinkler Head Control
Over the past several weeks we have been in the process of
“un-pairing” the fairway sprinkler heads on the Dye. When the course was originally constructed,
almost all of the fairway and rough heads were satellite paired, meaning that
each head had its own control wires but were then paired up in the
satellite. This provided some challenges
for the management team in terms of keeping areas either to dry or to wet. To resolve these issues, we have begun the
process of splitting the paired stations.
To accomplish this, we have had to add numerous control boards to existing satellites and on a few holes we have actually added an additional satellite to accommodate the number of new stations. The project should be complete in the next few weeks and then, as we get into the warmer months, we hope to see the payoff of this project in terms of firmer/drier conditions with the ability to control our water in a more effective manner.
