Weather and Tree Damage.....

2/26/2014

0 Comments

 
Last year the total amount of rainfall we had on the course was 513 mm. This year to date, Redditch has seen an incredible 230 mm, in two months we have had almost half the amount of rainfall for the whole of last year.

The high winds caused some major issues with trees coming down
and a large amount of debris being a daily battle. 
We've had several trees blown down, which we'll be cutting up as soon as we can.  Transporting the logs and branches off the course will have to wait until ground conditions improve enough to allow us back on to it with the necessary machinery.
However, we have been collecting the smaller stuff up on a weekly basis.

For every negative there's a positive..
Although we've lost a lot of trees to the strong storms, its actually amazing how much the wind dries the course up.
