Gopher Snacks, Robots and Kirby Markers?

Got your attention?!?!? I thought so.....
 This 3 foot length of wire was completed stripped of it's outer cover by a gopher who got a little hungry.
 When this happens, the wire makes contact with the soil and grounds out the power that should be sent to the sprinkler head to cause it to water the turf.  It can't work and grass dies.

 Julio has gotten real good at locating where these breaks are by using a ground fault locator.
Not only do they make dirt mounds and create holes to trip in, now they are ruining the irrigation system.


 Robot?  Just a little half finished person Mario has been putting together over the last few years with throw away old worn parts.  Little did I know when I asked him for a statue to put out near the entry to the maintenance facility he could create such a piece of art.  He is just in need of some arms.... what could we use?
Okay.
The real news.
The Kirby yardage markers on the course have been replace with new ones.
Now the numbers can be read easily and all are level and obvious.

Check your yardage and stay below the hole.
