Drainage on the 3rd

Finally the sun has come out and the course has not had any rain for 3 days. The forecast says there is no rain this week, I can't remember the last time that was said!

As you know the drainage around the 2nd was started last week and when our digger arrives we will be able to complete the task.

Today we started the drainage on the left of the 3rd green. You may have also noticed during the new bunker development we dug a small soak away at the rear of the green. We trenched from the new drainage at the bunker round the left hand side trying to pick up the low spots and connect in to the soak away.
Once we had done this we then carried on past the rear of the green and towards the
4th tee path. It was here we found a broken clay pipe that could have been causing a lot of the problems.

Next we will stone and pipe the drain and connect it up with the bunker drainage before top soiling and re-turfing the area.
