Over the next few days we will be pressure testing the irrigation system to make sure the winter frosts have not damaged any pipe-work or valves.
The system is first tested manually and only when checks have been made to ensure that the pumps, sprinklers and valves are all working correctly, do we then test it automatically.

| Testing Putting Green Sprinklers |
The system was designed and installed in 2000 and covers all greens, tees and approaches, the pumping station which is capable of delivering 130 gallons or 600 litres of water a minute, means that four greenside sprinklers can be operated simultaneously.
The borehole, which was drilled last year, keeps the 28,000 gallon storage tank topped up.
Finally, let's hope for a long hot summer and that the irrigation system is in constant use, unlike the past few summers.
