Jeremy Brady watches a green after starting the sprinkler system Wednesday. "If we don't have water, we don't have a golf course," Brady said. "Water is pretty much the number one priority of the golf course."
When it comes to golf, the course is as much an integral part of the sport - if not more - than the opponent.

Behind the scenes is a team of workers out every day, keeping the Yampa Valley Golf Course as beautiful as it is challenging.
Jeremy Brady, golf course superintendent, and his team of nine employees are out there seven days a week, trimming and watering, to create something of beauty.
