After a few preliminaries over the last week or so work started today on the repair of the 3rd and 4th holes on the river course. We had two large dumper trucks and a digger on site, excavating material from the pond on the 7th and transporting it to the 3rd green area.
Last week we were very optimistic about this work with a temporary bund being constructed on Hazelwood marshes and the marsh drying out nicely. At the weekend the combination of very high tides and high winds breached the new bund and flooding on the course reached levels not seen since the tidal surge last December. Needless to say, this has not created ideal ground conditions for construction work and the thunder storms with very heavy rain this afternoon added to our misery.
We've created a low bund and transported many loads of material to the site today and work continues tomorrow and early next week. Hopefully with slightly lower tides due this weekend and the bund in place the area will dry out a little as it's quite a mess at present.
