This week was the Craighead course greens turn to be solid tined to a depth of 150mm to relieve compaction, allow better air and water movement through the top of the soil profile 

 When cutting tees on the Craighead course we have removed our grass boxes from the mower to allow the clippings to return to the surfaces due to applying a slow release fertiliser 2 weeks ago

 Ongoing cutting of most of all the playing surfaces at a reduced frequency due to limited staff

 The newly turfed 7th tees on the Balcomie course getting their weekly cut ready for when the courses open to be played off

When we get a chance we are seeding and top-dressing any turfed areas from when the new Balcomie course irrigation system was installed

 Ongoing in-house upgrades of old/worn sprinklers, saddles and swing joints on the Craighead course

Our newly GPS'd completed irrigation maps for both our courses have pride of place in our new pump-house

 We have installed anti-slip pads on our new steps onto the newly built 7th tees on the Balcomie course, the path has still got a lot of work to be done before this project is finished but the tees will be in play when the courses reopen

 Cutting of our short game area green after it was heavily top-dressed 2 weeks ago, this whole area is just over 1.5 years old and is maturing really well and is a great asset to the club

 We are seeing great results from our rough management program of cutting and collecting the roughs over both our courses in the Autumn/winter months to help thin these areas out for the wildlife and playing of golf, this will be an ongoing maintenance each year
