Note: don't plant cypress trees on top of drainage!!!

While investigating some poorly draining areas of #2 Bear we discovered some clogged drain lines that provided some amazing photos.  The drain line ran right underneath some cypress trees just left of the cart path.  The roots grew into the pipe and began to spread out.  In order to get into the pipe to clean it we had to cut our way in with an electric saw (see photo below).

 
 
Once the pipe was open, we could extract the 9'+ of fibrous roots that were crammed into the pipe.  Problem solved!  This area left of  #2 green should drain much better now.
