Irrigation in the Rain?

Anyone at or around The Links this afternoon saw sprinkler heads running on the greens.  The timing just seems off with the light rain Mother Nature provided, but this was done intentionally for multiple reasons.


  • Test sprinkler heads after deep Drill and Fill aeration to make sure no wires were damaged.
  • Clean sand and debris from drives.  The kiln dried sand seems to hang around even after the head is cleaned off
  • Rain was not enough to wash in fertilizer, amendments, and the wetting agent/soil spray.  The spray this afternoon needed to be washed in thoroughly, and the rainfall was not heavy enough to do it alone. The rain also was off and on, so there was a chance of burning the grass blades if the spray sat to long. 
  • The extra water will help sand get washed in better/faster.
