 It's all go this week trying to get back to some course winter work projects, The removing of all the overhead electric cables has taken up a lot of our time in the last 3 weeks and will do until the middle of January but great to see all the electric lines down now
 We have started work again on extending and leveling our 11th medal tee on the Balcomie course and we have also re-positioned the sprinkler head and added in another sprinkler head to give us much better water coverage 
 A nice loamy topsoil has been added to help us retain nutrients and moisture in the soil profile, as before the profile was just pure sand and dried out very quickly
 We had slight damage to our storm hut in-between holes 8 & 9 on the Balcomie course from the high winds at the weekend, this has been repaired now
 The rebuilding of the dyke in front of tees 15 on the Craighead course is starting to take shape
 We have now manage to back-fill all the new electric trenches through the driving range car park, clean up, add 40 tons of red chips, rake and level off the surface to complete the repair works to this area and now this car park is back open with no electric poles to be seen

 Another area that we repaired and re-turfed was in-between tees 11 on the Craighead course where they took down 2 electric poles
