Wet conditions will always expose any drainage shortcomings. Number 7 South has been wetter than normal this year and we are planning a substantial drainage project there this fall.
This photo shows how tree roots - particularly Willow trees - can find their way through the smallest opening and clog a drain tile. This tile from the left of number 7 fairway ... had over 20 feet of roots clogging the pipe!
It proves that roots like oxygen. Very small root hairs will find an opening in a tile and in a humid, air filled environment, grow unimpeded until completely filling a drain tile.
