16th drainage continued

Today we continued with the drain at the 16th green, firstly we put 100mm drainage pipe into the trench, and backfilled with 30 - 40mm round stone.

We then put a thin layer of 10mm pea gravel to stop washout of the rootzone, then a minimum of 150mm of rootzone.

The original turf was relaid to ensure continuity of the grass coverage once the area has recovered and is back in play, then topdressed with the rootzone.

Next week we have an excavator on hire to drain the 23rd green bank, bunker and surrounding area.
