The 23rd hole, when the banking was filled in.
A drainage gully and pipework was installed to the back left corner which is a natural low point gathering water. The out fall was discharging out of the side of the old bank, when the bank was filled in the pipe was extended into the base of the greenside bunker which was then connected to a new drain. The water on the 23rd green has been very slow to get away, making me think that the pipe may have been crushed or damaged when the banking was being formed. So to solve this issue Adam and Rich opened up the gully and re connected the pipe, checking the drainage pipe was OK on the green. Then opened up the drain on the bank side, which will be connected straight to the new drain we installed at the bottom of the bank.
Else where tees and fairways cut, work continued on the aerated greens and the rest of the greens double groomed ready for spraying with growth regulator and fertiliser tomorrow. Now the bunkers are presented in a good condition it is noticeable that a number of golfers think it is acceptable NOT to rake the bunker after playing shots from the sand. I would like to remind members and visitors that it is there responsibility to maintain bunkers as and when they are used, it is general basic etiquette to carry out simple things like repairing pitchmarks, replacing divots and raking bunkers. Please help us to help you. Thank you
