Today Rob and I spent most of the day battling the standing water with the water pump. We finished the 1st fairway, which was the largest area on 1-9, then pumped out the 8th and 9th green side bunkers.

We then tackled the area between 11th tee and the 12th green.

This unfortunately highlighted another problem, the pipe connecting the 12th ditch to the 9th ditch was obstructed, so Will and Scott roded the pipe to free the debris and is now running great.

The rest of the team continued to remove the hedgerow between 18 and 19, once again this is for safety reasons, as shots hit over the hedge could potentially hit an on coming golfer or a member of the green staff. More trees are to be planted where the hedge is removed to help define the two holes.

The forecast is for drier weather over the next few days, but very cold nights, as the greens will become frozen Rob moved 1-13 holes in preparation for the opening of a least 1-9 holes. 1-9 holes will be inspected tomorrow with a view to getting some of the course back open for Saturday. The rest of the course is still incredibly wet and will not be open until at least Monday
