17th green alterations continued

On Friday we continued with the green alterations to help remove standing water after the heavy rain we have been having this year. We finished shaping the soil to create the run off, as we were doing this we discovered an old soakaway type drain that wasn't doing a great job of removing the standing water, to ensure we didn't cause further issues of the turf burning off in the summer we dug out all of the stone and filled the area with a rootzone material.

Once the soakaway was filled, the area was prepared for the turf to be relaid by covering the area with rootzone and raking the surface of the whole area with a nail tooth rake to allow good root penetration.

Once we were happy with the levels the turf was relaid, ensuring it was as level as possible to help recovery. We topdressed the area and marked it as GUR, next time we have rain we will monitor the green to ensure the work has solved the problem.
