Why is drainage so important for healthy grass?
Walking on, maintaining, or driving over soil that is saturated will compact the soil by forcing suspended soil particles into air voids. This will make the surface hard and uneven as well as inhibiting healthy plant growth. Soil that is saturated or lacking in voids will not yield healthy grass

This is the practice green this past August a half hour after a 2 inch / 25 minute deluge of tropical rain!
This green is 30 years old and has no drainage (duh!!) This is the most used putting ssurface on the GC. Compaction of this green is at an all time high!
