Irrigation start up was a breeze on both courses this year.  With the deep winter frost we were preparing for the worst but we only had 3 initial broken heads on the Heritage course and the only pipe failures were self inflicted.  We were lucky enough to drive snow fence post down and into the pipe three times around #4 green Heritage and once by the putting green on Greywalls.  We had never hit a pipe before and this year we hit it 4 times, amazing.
