Troon, UK. 2nd February, 2016. With only a few months until The Open Golf Championship tournament, storms Gertrude and Henry have taken their toll on the greenkeeper's work to prepare the course for the competition.

View of the Clubhouse at Royal Troon Golf Course, Troon, Ayrshire, Scotland looking over the 18th green and greenside bunkers. The bunkers have filled with rainwater after the recent storms and the greenkeepers are using water pumps to try and drain the flooded areas before there is damage to the grass on the fairways and putting greens.
