There never seems to be a dull moment in the world of turfgrass management. Yesterday afternoon we lost power to the irrigation pump house. After diagnostics performed by our building engineer, we determined that there was a problem with the transformer outside the building.
The electrical company was unable to give us an accurate time frame for identifying and resolving the problem. This led to the decision to rent a back-up generator so we could run the irrigation system at night. The electricians worked on setting up the generator to the pump house while my staff hand-watered wilting greens using a portable tank filled from Big Fisher.

The irrigation system ran great last night with no issues or turf loss. I am happy to report the power company has resolved the issue and we are back on the electrical grid. The generator will be picked up in the next couple of days.
Have a safe and happy rest of the holiday weekend.
Happy Memorial Day-
