18th fairway drain

This morning Adam, Alistair and Scott installed a drain into a low spot in front of the 18th green, this area has been a problem all year so it was essential to solve the issue. They opened up an existing drain on the fairway to remove the water in the hollow.

Once the water was removed the trench was dug to an adequate depth and pipework installed

The trench was then backfilled with stone and topped with rootzone then turfed with some of the turf we had left over from the 14th pond as the original turf was unusable as it had been stood under water for a long period of time.
