We have had over 50mm of rain in the last couple of days, and the course has really suffered. We had a lot of wet areas before this spell of rain so when i inspected the course yesterday morning water had begin to stand in the majority of places on the course.

Today at least the rain had stopped and the greenstaff could get out onto the course to push the water off the greens to allow them to begin drying out. We also open any drains we could up to allow water to run off the fairways.

The drains were all running well, taking the water away at full capacity into ditches and ponds
