By JOE BROUILLETTE
Golf course irrigation is the
power behind the play
There are many
unsung hero’s that
make this golf
course work and
play well. No one is
more responsible
BROUILLETTE
than the Course Su-
perintendent Matt
Collier. Since he took on this role a
few months ago, he has really made
a difference. Below is a list of just a
few of the many contributions Matt
has introduced:
■ Installed self-cleaning intakes on
the main water supply lines.
■ Large holes were found on the
original intakes in the pond.
■ By eliminating these holes and
upgrading to a self-cleaning unit, no
longer will we be sucking in foreign
objects creating headaches for land-
scapers and the golf course.
■ Realigned 80 hp electric river pump.
■ Steve’s Pump Service recom-
mended the realignment of the elec-
tric motor and pump housing.
■ By doing this we will extend the
lifespan of this pump by ensuring the
drive shaft is balanced and straight.
■ Installed fountains in irrigation
pond.
■ Along with the aesthetically
pleasing look of the fountains, we can
also look forward to less algae in our
irrigation pond.
■ Agitating water will create a less
favorable growing environment for
algae.
■ Installed three commercial grade
dehumidifiers.
■ Created a safer working environ-
ment while servicing pumps and work-
ing around 400 volts of electricity.
These changes improve water flow
quality for the course and HOA’s we
support. Matt is putting the final
touches on our irrigation system up-
grade. New programmable sprinklers
are being installed that will allow us
to better manage water flow, spot wa-
tering and remote operations. More
efficient water operations save money
and produce better results.
We thank you for your patience
these last few months as we have
made these improvements.
