23rd hole drainage day 2

This morning we continued to drain the area around the 23rd green. First job was to fill yesterdays trench with a blinding layer of pea gravel and then top off with root zone
We then started the outlet drain run which was to run in front of the 22nd green side bunkers so they could be drained in the future

Tomorrow this trench will be finished and back filled as the first trench dug yesterday. Then the bunker on 23 will be drained into the main drainage trench.
