Drainage nearing completion

This will be the last week we are installing drainage with the excavator. We are hoping to do small areas of drainage on the 10th, 15th and 18th holes. If there is any aggregates left after finishing these areas then we will try and drain the 8th green side bunker. To date we have installed around 1200m of drainage and have completed the majority of planned work. We have now started tidying all of the drained areas as there is some turf that needs to be replaced where it has been wet for so long.
We also continued servicing the machinery, and had a demo bunker rake from Baroness so we blew out and raked the bunkers.
