It has been said that if you want a good golf course you have to have 3 things...drainage, drainage and drainage. To prove that point during the renovation of the course in 2009 we installed over 450 drain basins throughout the course. Even with all that drainage capability, small pockets of wet soil still pop up from time to time as the course matures. The course is constantly evolving and part of my summer maintenance programs are to rectify any adverse conditions that age brings to the course.
In the picture below is an example of fixing a wet spot that wasn't a problem last year, but is now. This drainage project is taking place on 13 fairway in the second landing zone area. This summer my staff has already installed new subsurface drainage on 10, 18, we are doing 13 today and we will do another on 5 tomorrow.
