The Drainage Project gets underway

Last week saw a hive of activity around the Greenkeeping compound, with the delivery of many tonnes of sand and gravel not mention enough piping to run to Troon and back.
Souters, the approved contractor for the drainage project, were on site and ready to tackle the serious water problems we have been experiencing over the past few years.

Work began on the thirteenth fairway. The first turf was cut last Wednesday and with the accuracy of laser measuring the first trenches were dug and large diameter main drainage pipe laid. A series of smaller diameter feeder pipers followed. In fact, within a short space of time there was water seepage into the trench highlighting the amount of water just 'lying there'.
