Water standing on the golf course from the days and days of rain is starting to become stagnant in areas causing issues to the health of the turf. Where drainage is present the water has been soaked in quickly and removed from the surface leaving cutting and routine maintenance easily achievable. Where no or poor drainage is an issue it is creating problems with cutting and playability of the golf course. The problems areas are on the 1st fairway, around the 13th green and in front of the 17th green. We will have to prioritise drainage in these areas this winter to ensure we do not continue having future problems.
