Peak Irrigation and Landscape Lighting

@tenaciousg44 @ThoNg676733 You just paid her a huge compliment by comparing her to SRV!

@ThoNg676733 THIS is an amazing guitarist

@Steve_Sibbald Brutal how irrigation inserts itself into a person's private life.

The turf industry is never not going to challenge you. Try to take a long weekend to celebrate a 50th birthday with one of my few remaining close friends. Got a call on the Friday morning that our main line erupted. Had to cut the little trip short and drive 3 hours home

@Connor_d6 That would be a very quick way to get a lot of water down on the cut. Might ask one of our customers if we could try that in the future.

Never seen this. Unsure if this is well known in the industry. The course I’m contracting at was watering turf around the heads I levelled today. Their method. Upside down recycling bin and turn the thing on 🤯 Have I been living under a rock?

@gdmgchannel No, he didnt

hmm...

@lehmansstore Load of bs

@Connor_d6 That's even smaller than the smaller tamp that Vanden Bussche sells. Lol. Will take that into consideration.

@ScottFiddes I’ll make you one of these before the start of next season if you want it. Bit less destructive on the body lmao. Chopping is my problem once chopped this bad boy makes sure nothing moves

Turf ppl! Breaking up clay to backfill heads takes AWHILE. How can I speed up that process? Option 1: remove clay, backfill head w cleanfill. Problem is that changes soil structure so not everyone likes this. Option 2: mechanize chopping. No machine on market. Will this work?

@Connor_d6 We have the same issue when backfilling with clay. So far our best method when backfilling around a QC or irrigation head is hand tamp with rubber mallets. Very time consuming and really hard on the forearms!

Any other ideas? Feel like some rototiller esq machine would get clogged in 3 seconds flat

When mother nature makes it so you can't work, take pause and appreciate a great view.

@Steve_Sibbald Peculiar looking debris. Just what is your pump picking up?

I've never seen this amount of debris in a rock screen before. No wonder the head wasn't operating properly.

@KevinsTurf Thnx Kevin and thank you for the guidance too!

This box cost the customer $300 for us to find it. Years ago, courses would either reject having boxes installed over important infrastructure or demand they be buried so golfers wouldn't see them. $300 to find one box.

There never is, and there never was a reason to bury boxes.

Put in the last of several isolation valves and transitions at Silvercreek GC on a hot and buggy Saturday afternoon. Great big thnx to @RC_Golfworks for spending the week with us putting in all the HDPE required and rolling with the punches!

@darwin4747 Oh my! That would have made a big difference.

@darwin4747 Brutal thrust block, needs to be 4 to 5 times that.

@KateHPhillips The best way to make old heads look great!

My take on #NationalDonutDay

The crew's week comes to an end at the @RBCCanadianOpen . Thank you @kitchen_turf for having our people experience morning preps with your amazing crew. We had a great week!

@_JamesHorvath_ It's crazy how many times we find wires just under the sod.

@ScottFiddes At least it's shallow digging! 😅 Hopefully they don't plan on doing any fairway aerification...

You had an entire fairway to put that 100 yard marker! What are the odds?
