Drainage on 18th and now its snowing

After all the bad weather we have had the snow we had yesterday afternoon has just finished things off.

Fortunately we had progressed well with the drainage on 18 before the snow arrived. We had around 40 meters to finish digging today which we completed and the majority filled in. We will hopefully finish what we started tomorrow. Next week we will move down the 18th fairway where there are low areas and water collects causing damage.
