Irrigation Controllers

Please be careful to not run into the irrigation satellites on the course with your carts. Especially the weeks it is over 100 degrees.  It takes a lot of time to re-build and re-program each of these, along with re-placement cost.

Unfortunately the controller on #13 got ran over last week by a member playing golf and not focusing where he was driving.  Forcing staff to run heads manually and handwater for several days, while we re-built all the damaged components.

  1. That sucks. A few months back we had two satellite boxes get hit with a power surge. The surrounding grass plants caught on fire and the fire department was called in the middle of the night. We had to rebuild everything, even the concrete pads the satellite's sit on.
