Eleventh Hole Drainage 
This is between the beginning of the fairway and the forward tee.  Water from the maintenance facility drained here making it impassable most of the year.
 
This confused us, because it looks like there is a drainline here, but why is it so wet?
It turned out that the line just ended in the middle of the area due to a large rock being present.
We managed to remove the rock and daylight this line into the ditch that fronts ten.
 
We reworked the drainage around the maintenance facility to collect all the runoff into a pipe rather than just letting it leach out onto the 11th hole.
 
We had to add another line as well.
 
 
 
We placed the pipe and used our new material handler to fill the trench with stone.  This piece of equipment is also our fairway topdresser.
 
 
This area has been passable in all but the wettest weather, since.
