Monsoon season!

As already highlighted on this blog there has been a lot of rain that has fallen on the golf course in the last 3 weeks, 103mm to be exact. Today the course was closed due to the storms that passed over night and throughout today, looking at the sheer volume of water on the course and the forecast it looks like the course will remain closed tomorrow also.

When conditions are dry enough we have been cutting where possible, continuing with bunker edging and flymoing bunker faces.
