This week we have made great progress with drainage on the 13th hole. The whole area in front of the green was becoming increasingly wet. This week we have discovered one of the possible and most likely reasons, blocked drains. The main drain taking water from all the drains on the 10th fairway was full of roots and sludge from 30 years of use. This is the only way water from a fairly big area can be discharged. To overcome this problem we will be installing a new drain which will lead straight to the 10th ditch.
Hopefully work on the 13th will be completed today and then we will start on the 9th green area where we have been also have issues on the front right of the green with standing water.
We have also taken advantage of the dry conditions and cut a lot of areas. The teesides, fairways, surrounds and selected long areas of semi have been cut.
We have also taken our new greens mowers out for the first time to check and set them up for the coming season.
