Another Wet Week

15th Dam Overflow

A third consecutive wet week which saw us record a further 41.5mm of rain to take the month's total so far to 102.5mm. The 30mm of rain which we received on Tuesday night caused a large number of washouts to bunkers and pathways which staff have spent the rest of the week repairing. All of the drainage masterlines located across the course are flowing continuously into the small 15th dam, which as you can see from the photo above, is overflowing steadily into the main 15th dam. The level of the main dam is currently just below the level of the spillway and should start to overflow before too much longer.

Vegetation management work has continued on the righthand side of the 1st fairway and all but two of the on-course bunkers have been edged over the past week.
