Ditch cleaning

Today we finished the area to the left of the 23rd green, shaping the remainder of the soil. So we moved the excavator on to cleaning out ditches on the 22nd hole. This just involved removing the overgrown material from the bottom of the ditch to allow drainage water to run freely towards the outfall.
