We had a half inch of rain last night which we are glad to see. Rainfall is the closest to 100% efficiency for irrigation systems. Even with the new system we can get close to that number. We are planning an audit on the system this year to see where that number falls.
Currently we are fine tuning the nozzles on heads that surround the green. Many of the sprinklers in the roughs that surround the putting surfaces are overthrowing onto the green. We are finding that the spacing and uniformity on the wide open areas have perfect spacing from last year's install. However, around the greens and in tighter spaces we need to do some tweaking to correct the distribution uniformity.
So if you are noticing the green surrounds are a little damp over the next few mornings, it is due to our tuning and making sure these sprinkler heads are spot on for the future.
