This August is the complete opposite from last August, we have already had 105mm of rain in the first 10 days of the month which has caused us lots of problems from flooding and the local farmers fields flooding then coming onto our courses
9th green & surround on the Balcomie course
front 9th green side bunker on the Balcomie course
hole 9 on the Balcomie course
hole 10 on the Balcomie course
flooding on 10th & 11th fairways on the Balcomie course
3rd green on the Balcomie course
holes 14 & 15 on the Craighead course
The big clean up begins, we tried to wash as much silt/soil of our 9th green
digging off the silt from the surfaces of the bunkers
All our tee paths were washed out
Courses getting back to normal
Back to our routine tasks after the clean up, great teamwork to get everything back to normal
Having been on the balcomie course on the friday and having seen the impact of the weather I can only commend very highly all the staff who must have worked exceptionally hard to get the courses playable for the open competitions on Saturday. Very well done guys. Great effort much appreciated.
