All go this week as we have started out aeration work to the Balcomie course greens and tees

 First of all we deep spiked the greens & tees to a depth of 8" to improve drainage, air movement and relieve compaction from the season

 the greens were then rolled to smooth the surface off before we carried out coring

 the greens were then mini hollow cored to reduce thatch levels and make a pot for the overseeding

 we applied 28gm2 of traditional fescue/bent grass seed to help improve our surfaces, then a light drag to help get the seed into the core holes

 the greens and surrounds were top-dressed with sand to fill the core holes in and make a perfect bed for the new seed to germinate

 On certain greens we gave them extra aeration by using a 16mm hollow tine to take out more thatch, which will improve the surfaces

more sand to fill all the aeration holes
