As
part of the preparations for hosting the 2002 British Masters
PGA Championship, Woburn Golf & Country Club wished to make
drainage improvements on two fairways of the prestigious Marquess
Course, and chose the Turfdry
Drainage System using Hydraway Sportsdrain.
Detailed site surveys were undertaken and tailored drainage
designs were produced for the 3rd and 18th fairways, with Hydraway
Sportsdrain at 4 metre intervals. Though greenkeeping
staff undertake drainage projects in-house during the Winter,
Head Greenkeeper Gary Leadbeater had heard favourable reports
of the Turfdry Drainage System
and appreciated the benefits of using a specialist firm, "The
combination of modern equipment and experienced manpower enabled
an intensive drainage system to be installed quickly with minimum
disturbance".
The works were completed within a two week period in November 2001, when the course was closed for other maintenance works.

Eddie
Bullock, Managing Director of Woburn Golf & Country Club
was also pleased with the work:
"We gave careful consideration to the proposals
submitted by Turfdry and to alternatives from other drainage
companies, and we are very happy with the outcome". |
