23rd hole drainage

Today we tackled one of the last jobs of the  23rd hole bank project. After reshaping the right of the 23rd hole, creating a banking a installing a bunker the drainage needed to be installed to ensure the area remains dry. A total of linear meters of drainage needs to be installed, drainage of the bunker, along the bottom of the bank, across the fairway to an outlet in the ditch to the left of the 22nd hole. We have positioned the drain across the fairway so the green side bunkers on the 22nd hole can be drained in the future. We first took levels of the whole area and then calculated fall. Once we were happy that the drainage was correct excavation started.

Once the trench was dug to the correct level the drainage pipe was installed and back filled with stone.

End of the day first trench dug, stone in, ready for blinding layer of stone and rootzone tomorrow.
