Stormy weather....

Club Championship qualifying rounds...

Saturday morning was perfect golfing weather and then in the afternoon there was a change.  Heavy rain and distant lightening for around 40 minutes interrupted the completion of the round for some 34 players.  However, it did test out the drainage works (not the best time to do this) with 26mm of rain but it is working well - see image opposite of the 6th/11th hole.

As I was stranded on the 7th tee and unable to communicate with those golfers in the clubhouse and explain what was to happen regarding finishing their rounds, we have rescheduled the first round qualifying and multiple trophy events for those 34 players effected for this Friday and Sunday.  All have been emailed with details.

3rd Hole Green side "water feature"...

As we continue to improve with course drainage a major improvement was initiated today.  The "water feature" on the 3rd green will be gone as the underground drainage is being installed and will be completed tomorrow.  The video and pictures are from todays workings.

Also, if you have to interrupt your round due to bad weather then simply mark the position of your ball go to a safe location and when it is all clear to continue resume you round at your marker.
