June storms

Although we still have a week of June to go our rainfall chart show that for this year so far, June has been our wettest month.The recent storms across the south east caused many issues locally  including South Essex with the entrance to the club flooding and much of the course deluged for most of the day.

Most of the bunkers flooded after 58mm of rain,much of it falling in a very short time span,some paths were washed out and debris was washed across some greens.What is referred to as the Bomb hole on the 2nd Heron which had no water in it Wednesday was full by Thursday.There was some marking up from golf carts on path ends on Friday but the sun shone and we  cut all the greens, tees,aprons and some fairways  and the course was being enjoyed by members and societies.
