Testing times

Now the forecast looks a little drier we are starting to assess the damage and water on the course in an effort to get some holes open as soon as we can. Holes 1-9 are the driest on the course and will take the least time to recover. We began pumping some of the flood water from really bad areas on these 9 holes so they can begin to dry out. Pumping water from areas across the course is going to be an ongoing task, but we are making every effort to minimise course closure.
