14th bunker drain
As the weather is turning colder the leaves are falling fast, hopefully after this week the majority will have fallen and collected up. It's a continuous task for the staff up to christmas. We hope now that we are on top of it. Other work on the course has included tidying up after the hedge cutting contractor, will is now beginning the task of hand cutting all the areas that can't be reached by the machine. Adam has continued with tee sprinkler replacement and we have moved on to the 14th first fairway bunker to install drainage.
