We knew how this would turn out....didn't we!!
Anonymous GreenkeeperHostAnd if you followed this from the beginning, you'll know we've travelled quite a long way without actually installing a single sprinkler.
The golf club spent around £20,000 on a borehole, not a new irrigation system, certainly not fairway irrigation.
The existing irrigation system remained exactly as it was, the borehole.
Unfortunately, somewhere between Steve's emails, the board, the clubhouse and the Saturday morning four ball, this fairly simple project evolved into something considerably more exciting for our benefit.
The summer arrived, the fairways went brown, and suddenly people wanted answers.
By the end of episode two, Steve was being encouraged, then increasingly strongly instructed to face up to the membership.
Not because he couldn't explain the irrigation system, he certainly could.
They were asking, why were we told we were getting fairway irrigation? And Steve hadn't told them that.
Steve had heard that Doug, the finance director and active board member, had sent an email to a large group of weekend golfers.
And that's where we left things with Dave, the general manager, telling Steve that Doug could not locate the communication.
