15th approach looking back from the green
This week has been a very stark reminder of previous winters with 78mm of rain falling since last Saturday making the course extremely wet underfoot, hence the decision to ban carts. The course is now at saturation point and any further rain we receive just compounds the issue. On a positive note, the main 15th dam has reached full capacity with the overflow starting to discharge excess water yesterday morning.
2nd bunker prior to the start of drainage work
This week work has started on installing better drainage into both of the bunkers at the 2nd green. The bunkers have been stripped of the old sand, both the bases rough shaped and the outlet for the front bunker has been dug across the fairway to the masterline which runs down the lefthand side of the fairway. The terrible weather throuhout the week has slowed progress more than I would have liked, but with better weather forecast for next week we should be back on schedule to complete the project by the end of next week.
