Was ist das?

This is soon to be a "catchment-basin", or commonly referred to as a "catch-basin". I don't like them, and call them bathtubs, because that is how they work. The vertical pipe is set in a low point and the water flows in through the top, like the drain in a bathtub.

There are times these drainage solutions are necessary, but my dislike for them is they destroy the natural look of the landscape, and at worst the intake pipe is often where the ball will end up. I've seen it too many times around greens on courses I've played, and then you get an area full of little divots around the pipe. Not nice.

This is the only catch basin we constructed and it will camouflaged on the outside of the fairway in the semi-rough so most golfers will never notice its existence.
