Tidy up

This week the drainage continues on the 12th. Trenches being dug around the green and across the front to connect all the greens pipe work.
Trenches dug with the excavator are 225mm wide with 100mm pipe work. Back filled to 200mm of the surface with gravel before topping with root zone. 
The front section has had to be filled using wheel barrows as it is very wet. 
The weather gave us oppertunity to do some tidying around the course. The bunkers have been blown out and raked
The fairways, surrounds and greens have been cut and leaves rounded and collected. The course is looking in great shape for December.
