Another productive day on the Alfred clean up with some safety issues being addressed in addition to the continued clean up.  The group of trees on RHS 2W tee that came down were caught up in neighbouring trees some 5 - 10 metres off the ground, which is a serious safety hazard.  There are a number of these around the courses and several of those were dropped to ground level today.  The photo below shows the group of trees before and then a short video of them crashing safely to the ground.

Down.

At the start of the week our goal was to get the front nine of the River course in play by the end of the week and we will achieve that by Friday night which has been a monumental effort by the crew and our contractors, who have simply all gone above and beyond.  Not so sure of a timeline for the back nine River though, as 15, 16 and 18R have some of the biggest material on the ground of the whole property.  As previously mentioned due to the weight of the machines they need to be on a hardstand surface and there's precious little hardstand anywhere on the back nine River.
