This morning brought more unplayable conditions, as overnight rain and snow had refrozen on the greens causing patches of ice. The day improved so hopefully if it doesn't freeze tonight we might have playable conditions in the morning. Today we continued taking down the hedge between 18 and 19. We are making good progress, in place of the hedge we are planting trees taken from areas across the course where they have self seeded or trees that need moving to a more suitable place. Most of the trees are hardwoods, however we have a number of spruce trees which we are going to use between the 19th and the practice ground.

The River Derwent is beginning to fall on the opposing side to the golf course however it is still rising on the course, hopefully the levels will drop far enough by the end of the week we will be able to open the flood gate and release the water on our side of the defences.

Yes this is the golf course, holes 21 and 22

We started our drainage project on 18, first removing the turf then digging out the drainage trenches, we will fill these in tomorrow
