Solution

LCC has 25 natural grass courts and 19 clay courts spread out over 10 acres. Water management is a critical aspect of maintaining the grass courts. Watering can only be done at night — the courts can’t be played on when they are wet because it’s dangerous. The soil moisture has to be precise to keep the grass healthy and to manage the ball-bounce on the courts.
