Installation of the new sprinkling system for the 18th fairway occurred on the week of the 21st to 25th February - the hole was shortened for play for 4 days as the Akarana Ground staff worked on digging the deep drains required for the pipes and electronics that will allow for the placement of sprinklers, keeping the course in top nick throughout the year. Work was slowed once we realised how much rock there was under the ground, but all was back to normal within 7 days. The fairway will now be reseeded to repair the turf on the drain lines. Please treat all drain lines as GUR.

A pat on the back to Steve and the boys for a job well done - Akarana members will appreciate the work and investment during those warm summer months to come....
