The clean-up work at the Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg is in full swing with many volunteers. But there is still a lot of water on the beautiful course, which has already hosted several European Tour tournaments. Meanwhile, several other golf clubs have shown solidarity with the Diamond Country Club.

Christian Guzy, President of Diamond Country Club, and his team report: "The progress on the golf course gives us hope. The water level is slowly but steadily dropping. We use rubber dinghies to travel in teams to the greens, which are slowly being released from the water. So far, we have been able to clear the mud from the greens. However, we still have a lot of work to do on the fairways."

Many golf clubs have shown solidarity with the Diamond Country Club. In addition to generous donations of equipment, members from Atzenbrugg also receive discounts or free playing rights.

The golf course in Tullnerfeld was flooded on Sunday after the water level of the Perschling rose from around one meter to 7.30 meters in a very short space of time and a dam near Atzenbrugg then burst. The boathouse was also under water. Only the caddy hall, the clubhouse including reception and changing rooms and the hotel remained dry.
