Gravel #16

Here is a picture of #16 green just before the gravel layer was completed. The gravel layer is installed with a skid steer then finished all by hand. After checking the gravel layer (TRCC employees with probes) the grave layer was installed to a remarkable level of perfection. Not a single spot was out of spec.

We have installed a wire to track every single foot of drainage pipe in the green. This is something that is not typically done except on the main trunk lines on most constructions. I wanted this done to insure that we can track and find any and all pipe in the green incase we ever get into a problem with the drainage on a green. The most important part of any green is having the ability to drain the water out of the green.

We have seen where some of the old drain lines didn't have the exact proper grade that there was some pretty foul smelling water in some of the pipes. This was probably one of the problems that we had with some of the old greens in some of our wet areas.
