Its been a good week for the team and we have progressed well with the drainage on 18. All the drains have been dug and filled in except the area in front of the ladies tee. Some of the turf wasn't good enough to be able to be lifted so those areas will need to be replaced. Some semi rough turf will be taken from the end of the range, the turf for the fairways will have to be bought in but there wont be a lot that will be needed.

Overall we have made little mess as the ground has been frozen solid when we have been leading away the soil. Next week we will hopefully be able to get an application of iron on the greens before the Christmas period and finish cutting 19-27 greens.
The water level has finally dropped on the river side of the flood bank so we can open the flood gate and let some water off the course. Holes 21-24 have been under water for around 3 weeks, I'm hoping the damage left behind is minimal. I will update the severity of damage next week when the water has drained off the golf course.
