Rain, test passed

Last night brought very heavy rain, 20mm in total, the first time this winter we have had such a volume of rain. So the first test of some of the drainage. Pleasing this morning then that we could keep the course open as it had drained well in most areas. The worst areas were around greens and tees where grass is thin due to wear and looked slightly muddy. We had to use some of the winter cups we have put out to ensure damage didn't occur in these poorer areas.

It did highlight where more drainage is needed in coming years but we have made good progress with what we have done so far. 

Yesterday we managed to complete the storm drains on 15 

As ground conditions were wet in areas we limited vehicles on the course so work continued with servicing machinery, fixing the 1st practice net, cleaning out ditches, cutting hedges and painting markers.
