Quick coupler installation.............

For years now we have been installing an irrigation add on called a quick coupler. Quick couplers make handwatering much easier and training handwaters how to actually handwater and how to take a part and put back an irrigation head is time consuming and risky for the turf. Quick couplers by pass staff messing with the irrigation heads and allow us to handwater more efficiently.

Currently on the course we have quick couplers on all but three of our green sites. We also have three couplers around the clubhouse for annual flower watering. We have been putting in about three per year since 2005 and will actually be finished next season. Each addition costs about $75 including fittings.

Above two staffers, make that one staffer, repair the dirt work after the installation.
