As we stated before, there have been irrigation wiring problems for the last ten years with the 18th hole on Newport. We had an independent contractor come in and assess the situation. We determined there were too many splices and broken wires and wires falling into the Bay to make this a reliable operating irrigation system. Any time you make a bunch of splices by different people, it leads to loss of electrical conductivity and corrosion. Rather than have one laborer manually turn heads on and off, we chose to rewire the hole and run it by our Site Pro Central Computer.. The wire was pulled with a vibratory plow. We ran the new wire in a conduit UNDER the rocks and bridge, so we did not have to cut the cart path. We ran the new wire to 18 tees through a conduit and attached it to the cart bridge. I am very confident turf conditions will be better because of this project. A total of 45 wires were run.
