Drainage - Hole 15

Today we started another drainage project, this time focusing on the area between the 15^th green and the 16^th tee.

This is another area, which has become increasingly wet over the recent months.

Much of the drainage pipe-work in this area is in extremely poor condition and many of the outlets have collapsed or been damaged by machinery or tree roots.

Unfortunately, progress can be very slow, as no plans of the drainage in this area exist.

Some pictures below of our progress,

We don’t expect these repairs to solve all the problems in this area but knowing that the water now has an outlet, should help considerably.
