Well, same song and dance, a different day. The water supply pipe for the field bar, pro shop and maintenance building is delivered through an old pipe and begins its long journey to us from Lucas & Hunt road. That is why at times you see a Missouri/American water truck out near the field bar, they are reading the meter for that water supply. Yesterday morning one of our staff members noticed a concentration of water above #1 tee and along the cart path leading to the tee. We did some searching and found the water line that leads from the pro shop to our building had sprouted another leak. Skip began the chore of hand digging a hole about 4' deep and found the pipe but had to bring in the big machine to dig a bigger hole so we could repair it. I think we have had at least 6 repairs at various locations on the pipe since I've been here and Skip has lost count in the 28 years he has been here of all the repairs he has made. Oh well, just something else to take us away from Invitational preparations. Water off for about 3 hours yesterday. All repaired and hole filled back in today. Back to those preparations and or regular work.
