14th Drainage

14th Hole

 

Drainage on the 14th

 

We have finally been able to install drainage to the par 3 14th hole. We have used a contractor to dig trenches at 5m spacings and then pipe and stone was installed to go into the ditch which runs the length of the hole.

We have also taken the opportunity at the same time to put another trench at the side of the green and level the surround. This area has new turf laid.

Once the pipe was installed and the gravel laid on top, we filled the trench with a sandy soil mix. A final soil and seed mix will be added to finish off the lines. The area near the green will be levelled and returfed.

 

The lines will remain GUR until further notice. More pictures to follow.
