The drainage contractor resumed work on Orchard #1 this week, both near the green and at the beginning of the fairway. Work near the green consisted of extending an existing 30" diameter pipe to better handle the amount of water that drains from the driving range and surrounding area. It also allowed us to more securely connect the new 4" pipe that drains the areas surrounding the cart path that used to stay flooded. Work adjacent to the beginning of the fairway will catch and slow down the excess water that runs down the hill from the driving range tee and onto the fairway. The contractor anticipates completing these areas this week, then will start on Grove #6 in the left rough before the pond.

| A gravel sump was installed on Orchard #1 near the beginning of the fairway along the right side of the cart path. Its purpose is to collect water that runs down the hill from the driving range tees and prevent it from soaking the fairway. New drainage pipe was also installed at the bottom of the sump. |
 |
| The contractor extended an existing drain line on Orchard #1 to connect to the gravel sump. |
 |
| This 30" drain line to the right of Orchard #1 green was missing a 20' section and had considerable erosion around the inlet of the discharge pipe. |
 |
| Here the contractor is lining up the new section of 30" pipe. Even though it's a type of plastic, pipe this big is very heavy and requires a machine to move it around. |
