After removing key Sycamore Trees from strategic locations adjacent to the practice putting green, we now must address the "quirky" irrigation layout. In the photos below, Alejandro is relocating a full circle irrigation head to the outside edge of the chipping green. Running irrigation piping under golf features is a sign of poor design and installation. (See post identifying pipe running through the bunker on Hole #3 green surround). In the coming weeks, the entire irrigation layout surrounding the practice putting greens will be renovated.
As you can see in the image below, tree roots are definitely present in the green profile and love to follow irrigation pipes. The bottom picture shows how a large tree root was encircling the irrigation pipe as it navigated deeper into the green profile.
