Yesterday we had a demo bunker rake to try out, so Will and Scott raked all the bunkers on the course, checking and pushing sand where needed.
Whilst vertidraining the greens continued the rest of the team dug out more drains on the 10th and 15th fairways where water has collected this summer.
Unfortunately today the weather has been incredibly bad, 21mm of rain had fallen by noon, with it still raining the course was in a bad way. Water was stood nearly everywhere, hopefully tomorrow it will start to dry out a little. As the ground conditions were saturated we started servicing the John Deere greens mowers and continued painting the tee markers.
