This morning we were greeted by the sight of a water geyser! The head that is located in the approach of 11green “blew off” and water was shooting approximately 20’ into the blue morning sky. I am not quite sure what time the break occurred, but I am “guessimating” that what we later diagnosed as a defective coupler had broken some time after midnight, and must have run for a few hours. The water drained over to the cartpath, flooding the area to the left and to back of the green.
The blowout was not hard to repair, but the clean up took some time. Pebbles, rocks, and sand had been shot up into the geyser and were littering the green and approach. We used brooms to sweep them up so that we could get the green puttable and so that our mowers blades would not be ruined when we cut. We pumped the water to the closest drains – this took approximately four hours!
Anyhow, it’s fixed and we are back in business so to speak! We will have the cartpath opened up tomorrow morning as if nothing ever happened at all!
