Drainage Work

Today we began drainage work on the golf course. Due to the excessive rain we've seen this year, some areas on the golf course have become saturated. We started in the spinney on the right hand side of no. 2. We are installing a drain that will run from the trees down to the lake to the right of the 3rd green. Also on no. 2 we are making an open drain that will start in the rough on the left hand side and run across the fairway down to the lake on the right. This will help drain the rough on the left quicker, an area which is always soggy after rain. It will also be a water hazard which will help toughen up the hole considerably. We have more drainage work planned in the coming weeks for other areas on the course.
