Today we continued with draining the 12th green. Another existing drain was found and an area in the middle of the green which constantly stood water after heavy rain was dug out, pipe installed, back filled with pea gravel and topped off with root zone. The turf was relaid and top dressed, there are two more areas on the 12th green which will be drained in the coming weeks.

Rich and Will continued strimming around the trees on the course. Adam and Alistair planted the winter wall flower plants in front of the club house, then continued with drainage on the 10th fairway, joined by myself, Rob and Scott
