We have taken the first steps of bringing our irrigation system into the 21st century. I'm not sure when the irrigation satellites were originally installed, but the satellites that have been running this irrigation system came out on the market over 40 yrs ago. The old satellites only had capacity to control 12 stations, while the new ones are set up for 48. One of the many new features these satellites allow us to do is, turn on multiple stations on the same hole. Before we could operate one fwy station at a time while syringing, and now we can operate as many as the water flow can handle. Many features in these satellites are going to allow us to function more efficiently. We have also installed a new weather station that gives us an ET (evapotranspiration) reading at our site. Though Jim knows what every inch of this property needs when it comes to watering, watering off of ET will allow us to put back just enough water to ensure the plants are getting whats necessary. Feel free to ask Jim, Dan, or Mike how our irrigation upgrades will help improve your golf course.
