More Work On My Golf Green // USGA Green Build

[@TheLawnTools]

“Full fullness” is correct 👍🏼

[@aidodavo]

You should concrete and rock pitch around the drain inlet to prevent ingress of soil and around the outlet to the dam to prevent scouring in heavy downpours. Can’t wait to see the final result

[@peterhoz]

Yeah I was going to mention that you'll get a lot of silt from the outflow into the dam, maybe lengthen the pipe so its over the waier if you don want to concrete, or use larger rocks. Looks good tho and doing its job!

[@emmett3067]

Should have drained from the road, and the pipe should have been much larger if it is to drain all that road surface. e.g. 150mm or 2 x 100mm. Need some concrete, rocks etc under the pipe so the soil doesn't scour when the water runs through the pipe into the dam.

Nice work Ben. Loving this content.

Love this content. Going to be so rewarding when you are able to take that first shot and putt!

[@MasteShredder]

Keen boi! Looking good mate, interesting process.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Another great video Ben, I'm currently filming a green getting build on the course I used to work at

[@Mattburto19]

Drain works a treat

[@LawnTips]

I’m glad haha

[@YeahTheOzzy]

Good job. I know it's too late now and it's not going to be a problem, but as a plumber, we always lay pipes with the sockets facing up hill.

[@-nellie-m3711]

It’s looking great Ben, I’ve been MIA for awhile and need to catch up on the rest of your videos to see what you’ve been doing around your home, we lost our little fur baby girl and I’ve been struggling without her, especially with hubby away so much with work, our home feels so empty without her, you’ll know that feeling now you’ve got a little fur baby, they have your heart unconditionally and take a big part of it when they cross the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. Cheers from Nellie, we’re getting that rain 🌧 now from down south and we’ve got 45 bales of mulch getting delivered for the fruit trees garden 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😢😢😢

[@andyk8322]

Good stuff Ben Very satisfying watching this

[@timbo78]

Yeah boi! Looking forward to seeing the green take shape. ⛳️

[@familyfourby6758]

Hey Ben looking good, being a Concretor, highly suggest doing a dish drain from the kerb to the pit with a surround splayed kerb at the pit, this will stop you getting that pipe cleaned out by a plumber every year👍 looking great keep up the cracking vids 👌

[@dronevisionaus9242]

Should put 1.5m or so of slotted agi in a loop around the pit and backfill with gravel to allow excess ground water to get into the pit... also a concrete headwall and a few rocks around the drain outlet would be a nice touch 👌

[@dronevisionaus9242]

Plus a pit next to your driveway running into that one will be alot neater and stop alot of sludge going into your dam and clogging up the drain... loving this series tho, im in the industry and this rain is relentless

[@clint2336]

Looks great. Many of us would have done things a little different, at the end of the day, as long as it does what you set out to achieve for your scenario, then all good. And it can always be modified later if need be.

[@LawnTips]

Everyone always does and I’ve come to learn that whenever I post a video. Just had a crazy heavy downfall as well. About 10mm in 20mins. So it worked well!

[@the_van_reeces]

I learnt heaps in the video. Thanks so much!

[@OorOaksey]

Great job Ben. You make everything look so easy and simple. I am so looking forward to the development of this magnificant project. As always I cant wait for the next instalement lol

[@Specwinclean]

I’ll bet that was some serious strain for that day!

[@hamishbindrinkin]

Cleaned up real nice

[@aussanadian]

I bet having that in is such a good feeling after the intense rain we’ve been having.

Awesome job mate

[@calebevans8437]

Yo mate what up welcome to another lawn tip vid! Where ben gets enough sun to film a video before the rain hits again😂 shes a beautiful day here in NZ looking good all long weekend 👍🍻 have a good one mate

[@stonesauer5781]

Amazing content as always Ben...Can't wait to see this project complete. I don't even play golf but might be willing to fly over from The States to putt a few rounds w/ ya 😉

[@jffro]

Coming along brah!!!! 👍

[@Legendary_UA]

Nice job.

[@merrettcontracting]

Looks an absolute treat! What’s the reason for putting the pit next to the fence rather than right next to the driveway?

[@LawnTips]

Just so it’s got more chance to collect the water to be honest. I was able to build a bit of a wall up behind the pit down there which I’d rather there than up the next to the road. Gives it a chance to hold a bit of water in that trench before the pit as well so if we get really heavy rain it won’t flood the pit out completely.

[@merrettcontracting]

Very understandable! I knew there would be a reason and some thinking behind it

[@MUY-BN]

Great project you are working on, I will enjoy watching the build. Really like what you've done to this point. The surface water drainage from the road concerns me. Other than the putting green perforated drain tiles, its not a good idea to have anything else under the putting surface. If that drain fails, you will have a mess on your hands. Along with others, I think that PVC pipe is way too small and probably the wrong product. If possible, redirect the drain around the green, with larger pipe.

[@danielslawncare]

Lessss goooo 😎👌🏼

[@markmonea3752]

Hey mate, just thought I’d ask did you lay the pipe the same as the test run? The pipe should be spun 180 other way around thing can catch on the lip flowing down hill and block the pipe. Just a tip for next time.

[@LawnTips]

I like it, good tip. I did lay it the same way as the test run though 👍🏽

[@stephenjones4792]

@@LawnTips Yes sockets should always face upstream to avoid the lip. Nice project you have going, great work.

[@MattHew-dy1wl]

Hey Ben, completely unrelated to today’s video but I’d be keen to hear your thoughts on Tahoma 31, information is pretty scarce except from growers and Tahoma Australia. Kinda have to take their praise with a degree of scepticism as they are obviously selling it after all

[@derkyderk1900]

Did you ever decide how you were going to go about getting grass in there? seed, hydroseed, sod etc.

[@LawnTips]

I’ll seed the green. Then turf on the fairways and seed the tees as well 👌🏽

[@jakobmorningstar]

That basin and pipe will be lodge full with dirt and debris in no time

[@TiffCat]

why didn't you put the pit right at the road edge where you can catch it all directly

[@lawndreams5952]

Noice mate! When’s the air bnb kicking off?

[@MRBLACK1080]

Is that pit going to be big enough? 200mx3m of tar is alot of surface area, alot of water to go in that small pit, should of got a concrete pit and 300mm black Max pipes

[@LawnTips]

Just had a crazy heavy downfall. About 10mm in 20mins. Worked well!

[@dennis82468]

So your term "Dam" is what we call a "Pond" in the USA...correct?

[@LawnTips]

That is correct. Not sure why, but that’s what we call a pond haha

[@philleonard0]

We use pond as well, but normally for a more ornamental thing, and dams tend to be functional.

[@peterhoz]

@@philleonard0 Hoover Pond? Yeah nah, definitely a dam ;)

You’re making it look too easy buddy. Wish I was closer to come help.

[@TheNameIwantedWasTkn]

100% do not put geo fabric over the pit grate - that’s the whole point of the pit. The fabric will clog up with leafs and crap and just be a bigger issue. Hopefully you put the drain pile 100mm or so from the bottom of the pit 😂🫣

[@notmyname857]

Yo Mate.

Can't wait to see how the drain works after the storm we are expecting this arvo.
