The drainage project that was completed in the spring has been a great success for the golf course. Since the spring, many of the improvements have paid dividends many times during our 2012 golf season. I am am hard pressed to remember any days this year that the golf course was actually closed to play. Between the greens drainage installation and the low hole grading changes, we were able to have the property available to the membership.
But, does this mean we will never flood again? As the pictures show from Friday we will flood from time to time. As the lowest topographic area for miles WVCC will bear the burden of the Wissahickons wrath.
The following are improvements that we can count on:
1) Excess water will drain off the golf course faster.
2) Water drains off the 13th, 14th and 15th fairways now rather than draining on to them.
3) The golf course will open back up for play sooner.
Happy Holidays!
