    We are in the process of updating our replacement reserve schedule for vehicles, equipment and other golf course related assets and would like to know how many clubs actually place your full irrigation systems (Pipes, wires, satellites, irrigation heads, pump stations, etc.) on replacement schedules. How long do you schedule life expectancy? How did your club reach a decision to replace and upgrade your irrigation system? How was it funded? Did you replace certain sections as needed, replace just heads, irrigation boxes, upgrade computer software systems, etc.

    Thanks in Advance

    Brandon:

    Have a complete irrigation system audit. The audit will point out deficient areas as well as life expectancy of pump station, heads, and control system.

    Feel free to contact me with questions.

    My best, Mike
