The Golf course on the other side of LSL lake is partially covered with flooding and after ~19" of rain THEY ARE WATERING THE GOLF COURSE! The signs readsl "smart Irrigation." [emoji854][emoji854]

I'd buy that except for the fact that the course is flooded from the pond they might be draining so it's going right back where it started.

Oooooooo............I don't have the piping blueprints in front of me........didn't realize THE FACT of the water source vs. the specific drainage pond. Maybe, just maybe the source and the draining is different.

Maybe THE FACT can be determined by contacting the course manager rather than ToTV.

Good Luck.

Doing so does drain the holding ponds and reduces the risk of sink holes at lest that what they say

Yes, the sprinkling redistributes the water. I've seen the effects on the retention ponds.

I am impressed that the developers apparently have designed the villages so the golf courses flood before the houses, well done!! Not to offend the golfers, but I really appreciate that I am not cleaning up flood water from my house, and the golf courses will probably by playable as soon as they dry out.
It appears that by using the golf courses, major flooding was avoided without incurring major damage.
Now for all of you golfers, please feel free to let me know if I am wrong on the damage to the golf courses, and if so I am sorry for any damage.

I surmise you are an engineer with the eye of an engineer. I noticed that myself. I applaud the site developer for keen insight and knowledge.

Seen some home sprinkler systems going this morning. Thought that was quite weird. Their sensors for rain must not be working.

We Villagers are so fortunate to have survived being in the eye. I will take a little flooding.

I don't understand negativity for no good reason.

Yep we have a pond katty corner to our home on a championship course and it flowed out to the course/sand traps and away from homes.

However, it doesn't explain why golfer's ball on the second shot always seems to flow right (opposite water flow as the pond rises) down hill toward and at the edge or in the ponds . Its the most common event on the second shot

It's a well know golfing fact that water and trees are natural attractants for golf balls.

Haven't found a sensor that works yet.
Perhaps you have one brand that does.
Would be willing to share what manufacturers name is ?

[pooh]

Sensors do go to the dark side....and maybe owners aren't here.

All our potable water goes into the ponds on the golf courses after treatment. That is why the CDD is asking us to not do laundry, flush once a day, run our dishwashers. Some of the water from irrigation percolates to the aquifer reducing the pond level.
