Douglas has an Accident


Jon has been busy in recent weeks constructing tees around the course. He has finished 3 of these on the 9th but has a little problem on the lower 5th tee when Douglas the digger broke through the surface crust and started to sink. Fortunately Jon was able to hook the bucket around a tree stump but not before the machine was submerged up to the cab.
After escaping through a window, Jon enlisted the help of local resident John W Sinclair who with the assistance of a co-worker and a big digger managed to rescue Douglas. A huge thank you to these chaps for coming to the rescue. Luckily no damage was done and both the lower and upper tees on the fifth are now complete.
