18/20 th tee irrigation

Today we had a demonstration of a Lewis pedestrian trencher organised by Nick from Thomsons Groundcare of Driffield. We have been searching for a small trencher that has a narrow trench width and would cause minimal damage to the surrounding area. This did just the job, a 100mm width and a 650mm maximum depth is ideal for small drainage projects. We have some upcoming work on the 12th and 10th greens where something like this would be perfect. The demo showed us what the trencher can do. 
The rest of our day consisted of installing and assisting Full Circle Irrigation to alter and add to the existing pipe work around the 18/20th tees. This will ensure the new tees are watered if needed during the grow in stage.
Else where the tees are being solid tined and leaf clearance continues.
