Pump Station Malfunction

The photo below is of the upper putting green and chipping complex. On the night of July 3rd, we had a drop in pressure in our Gray Hawk pump station and it led to terrible irrigation coverage on our practice facility and #2 Gray. In the current heat wave, it only takes one night of missed water to see this kind of stress. Fortunately, the pumps did their job and restored pressure, minimizing the damage to only a few areas. The stress on #2 Gray Hawk was much less than what you see here.

Ugly as it might be, the green is still very much alive and well on its way back. In fact, it is probably the best rolling green on the course right now and its appearance is somewhat fitting as we approach the British Open.
