Abstract/Contents: | Details the installation of a new irrigation system at Winged Foot Golf Course in Mamaroneck, New York. Describes how plans to upgrade the system were scrapped when Eric Greytok, superintendent of Winged Foot, realized the old system dates back to the 1950s. Explains how Paul Granger, president of Aqua Agronomics, suggested installing striped wires instead of solid to avoid confusion down the road when repairs had to be made. Describes problems encountered while installing the new system including the delivery of two year old pipes and extremely hard granite that ran under the course. Describes some of the new procedures Winged Foot impletmented including the use of grounding plates, increasing the output of the wells, and the "installation of a Rain Bird Cirrus cenral control system with the new Rain Bird PAR +ES satellites." |
