Drainage 16th Fairway

This month’s persistent rainfall has again highlighted the fact that drainage from the 16^th fairway is severely restricted; either by collasaped pipe-work or because the rumble/stone drain through the woodlands has become blocked with tree roots.

Today we had a contractor on site to help us locate the main drainage outlet, which crosses from the 16^th fairway into the grey car park.

Excavations in progress

Some hours later, after digging through approximately sixty tonnes of soil, we located the pipe at a depth of nearly three meters.

Over the next few days we will survey the ground and pipe levels before monitoring the flows and decide on how best to address the problem.
