To improve drainage on the green it was drilled and filled by a specialist company on Thursday 5th October 2023.

The Drill & Fill work went very well with an estimated 40,000 holes to aid the drainage.
According to Richard, after inspection of the green on Wednesday 25th Oct , the drill & fill seems to have worked and after several downpours there was no sign of puddles or saturated ground.
