14th pond continued

We only had this morning to continue with the 14th pond due to the seniors open. With the water level dropped Alistair started digging out the soil below the water level. He piled it onto the area we cleared yesterday to drain off for tomorrow.

Also this morning we double cut greens, rolled greens, cut surrounds, cut semi, cut 19-27 fairways, 19-27 tees, and this afternoon worked on the 26th bunker.
