Work is going well on the rebuild of the greenside bunker at hole 17 on the Craighead course

 before the rain on Thursday we managed to cut, top-dress, brush in then divot the tees on the Craighead course then the 7mm of rain helped wash in the dressing

 we also have outside contractors in laying over 1000 metres on 6" pipe along the west side of the Craighead course which we will then tap into when draining fairways 3, 4, 5, 7 & 8 in future years, this investment is to help us solve the drainage issues we have had since the course opened in 1998 and will reduce course closures due to flooding

 the gravel banding to the 3rd fairway is nearing completion with over 4000metres done so far

 to help tidy up the 3rd fairway we decided to brush this which helped work the sand into the grass profile around the gravel banding etc ready for play tomorrow
