FROM THE ROUGH
We are currently adding a few
backup heads to the rough line on
my No. 2 hole, a par 5 that is 594
yards long. When we did our inven-
tory of this hole I was a bit off on
identifying its inadequacy with our
coverage. I find myself now adding
more heads then I originally thought.
A few steps need to be taken to
complete and fine-tune this hole.
When we identify an area that will
need a rough backup head, we look
for the best place to tie into the pipe
and run our new line to where we
would like to add the new head. The
tricky part is the wiring and is the
most difficult part.
We have three options from which
to choose.
We can trench back to the satellite
and pull new wire to the head.
We can go to the middle of the
fairway where we have a splice
box with a few open wires for new
heads.
Or the last result is to wire two
heads together and both heads will
run at the same time. This will only
work if the head you are tying into
is not on a mound or a low spot as
you don't want an area too wet or
too dry.
Ninety-five percent of the heads
on the golf course are now singled
out. This was not the case when I
arrived at the club. This was part of
our original plan to single heads out
to get better control of each head
