48.12

48.12 and the idea surrounding it is a number that has been discussed often in the past weeks. It represents the level of the lake at the moment, and is the level it will be maintained most of the year.

To maintain this level a pipe between the lake and the old 2nd and 3rd holes must be installed.

There was an option to exit the pipe into the ditch crossing the 1st hole, but this would have required elevating the water level 50cm to 60cm. Concerns with too large a water fluctuation has meant installing a longer section of pipe. It is precision work, as there is little fall between the lake and where the pipe exits.

It has taken 2-weeks for the lake to reach its intended level.














James and John installing the pipe from the lake and across the 2nd fairway. In the first photo they are cutting through the fairway bunkers on the old 2nd hole; bunkers that will be removed. The lower photo is in the direction of the foot bridge over the creek on the left side of the old 2nd hole.
