An initial course assessment has been completed, with all available course staff called in to assist with the clean-up/reinstatement.
Pleasingly, the water levels did not reach the heights of two weeks ago, resulting in less debris and river sand/gravel/mud deposits on fairways. However, the water levels remained high for a lot longer this time leaving the course waterlogged, with low lying areas needing time to dry out.
The focus this morning will be:
- Clearing debris from bridges and reinstating railings.
- Clearing and mowing greens and tees.
- Removing debris from green surrounds.
- Clearing debris, mud and river deposits from fairways. The power broom will be used on holes 5, 7 & 18 allowing the fairways maximum opportunity to dry out and prevent the turf from suffering long term damage.
- Cart paths cleared to allow play to resume asap.
- Safety and hazard checks.
A further update will be provided early this afternoon.
