Due to the recent high-tides, we have lost most of the bottom-end of the Old Deer Park to the Thames flooding..
The tide came over in to low-lying areas and swales on Wednesday morning and it has steadily risen since.
Now as we approach the weekend the continuing threat is receding.
After this morning's flood almost upto the 8th-tee on the JHTaylor to the west, the 16th-green on the Pam Barton in the middle of the courses and which covered the 16th-green on the JHTaylor to the eastside - it is anticipated that any determined attempts at reinstating the courses will not be possible now until at least Tuesday 23rd.
The greenstaff will be left to clear-up the usual debris which the Thames deposits.
We will need to repair and reinstate probably 30-bunkers.
This requires that everything the greenstaff had planned on the courses for the next two-weeks being compromised to swiftly recover the courses.
