Drainage 10th Hole - Update

We have now completed the small drainage project on the left-hand approach to the 10^th green. The pipe-work has been installed and the drainage trenches have been backfilled with gravel and a binder layer of grit, the trenches were then topped up with fresh root-zone and are now ready for re-turfing.

It is our intention during the next spell of frosty weather to extend these drainage works round the left-hand side of the green. This additional drainage will help considerably in removing a great deal of the standing water, which affects this area after heavy rain.

One of our goals going forward is to address areas such as at the 10^th hole and tackle our drainage problems. These small projects add up and will, eventually, in time make a big difference to the condition and playability of the course.
