Just as I was hoping the course was on the road to recovery, with the recent dry spell yesterday afternoon brought an unpredicted storm shower. We had 14mm of rain in a short period of time flooding the course once more.

To help open the surface and disturb the soil to increase water movement through the profile we mole ploughed some of the wet areas around the course. In the worst areas we double passed in different directions. This caused minimal damage and if it helps move the water away from the surface it will be done again before the winter.

This morning we also finished turfing around the 14th pond

Unfortunately this morning the radiator on the 2110 tractor was damaged, so we had to remove it so it can be re cored by a local company. This delayed our progress with other tasks, although we did manage to rake some of the bunkers start cutting tees, tee sides and fairways which will all be finished tomorrow.
