Just a quick update

Over the last 2 weeks we have now received around 100mm of rain. Given the quantities the course has stood up well and hasn't had to close throughout. It has been very wet at times but has drained down well. 
We have been trying to catch up on all cutting jobs, plus today we groomed greens and divoted tees. 
A dry cut makes all the difference and helps define the course. We have made good progress strimming tree bases and hopefully will get them finished next week.
