 We have been hollow coring certain tees on the Craighead course to take out even more thatch to improve the surfaces after the scarifying
 The Craighead course greens were next for light aeration, which consisted of verti-cutting, solid tining with a 10mm tine to a depth of 150mm to relieve compaction and help drainage going into the winter months
 minimum disturbance to the surfaces
 A turf iron after to smooth the surfaces off
 Then application of an Autumn feed to strengthen the grass plant going into the winter
That's us started to dig out the old tee sprinklers on the Balcomie course ready for the new irrigation system installation starting Oct 21st
We will keep and reuse certain sprinklers etc for the Craighead course but will have sprinklers, valves and decoders that we can't reuse, so anyone needing spares please give us a call as happy to help anyone out
Our new shed extension is coming on really well with the floor being poured this week and the block work started too

 We have now completed the double scarifying and verti-cutting on the Craighead course tees to remove excess thatch from the surfaces and now we have started to solid tine the tees with a 16mm tine to a depth of 125mm
 The Balcomie course greens were lightly verti-cut, brushed, groomed, cut then rolled to remove lateral growth and to help smooth the surfaces off
 The brush is fixed on to the front of our Greens mower which allows us to carry out brushing at no extra time when required
 Courses being set up in front of play
 Our new shed extension is coming on really well with all the steel structure erected now
 The roof is on now
The start of the brick work round the new shed, all works on schedule for completion going into October before we start the demolition of the driving range shed
