Gads .......... another hydraulic blow out occurred while my fairway unit was mowing 1's fairway. Due to the moisture of the grass and the amount of daylight at the time of mowing, my operator did not notice the leak until over half of the fairways was mowed.

Of course the leak did not start on 1's fairway, it occurred on 18 upon leaving, thus the hydraulic line goes from the 18th hole, across 9's fairway, in front of 7's tee, across 6's fairway and then to 1's fairway when it was finally discovered after half of the fairway had been mowed.

We are treating the hydraulic leak with charcoal to aid in the recovery of the turf. This is the same thing we did on 16 with quite a bit of success. The sad part is only three days ago that hose was discovered to have any issue and was ordered, however, we received the hose 4 hours too late. Good news is that other suspect hoses were also replaced so hopefully that will be the last leak we see for a while.
