New year

Back to work & was face with the damage left behind by the floods so I've been round the course looking at bunkers, paths, bridges, trees & ditches we have been lucky as it could have been a lot worse, now we have clean up to do as well as trying to keep on top course maintenance (aeration,slitting,spiking) we are hand cutting greens & tees, keeping traffic movement to a minimum because of the soft ground conditions but unfortunately we have to travel round the course to get things done lesser of two evils.
Some of the bunkers we have sand washed out of the bunkers, the sand that is left in bunkers has been contaminated with silt which has given a dark look.
Some paths have been wash away but we fill them back in, some we will do away with completely depending on time.
Bridges crossing the ugie has lots of debris on them but no undermining of banks where the bridges cross, they are just requiring a lick of paint so this be done later.
There is a lot of debris & slit on the course but we be picking this up shortly.
