River course update
The situation on the river course following the tidal surge and flooding three weeks ago is much improved. The 3rd green and 4th tee are in very good order and due to the very mild weather we have already cut them twice. The fairway turf that was laid the day before the flood has fared less well but we've saved a good proportion and we're confident that this will recover given time. The heavy rain over the last couple of weeks has kept the area very wet (not helped by the layer of silt brought in by the flood) but the rain will have helped to flush the salt out of the turf and soil. We intend to replace the lost turf in a couple of weeks time when the site has dried out a bit.
