A great achievement for Tam, celebrating 25 years service with us in the Greenkeeping department, it's great the society recognising these milestones in the staff
All go on the courses
We are starting to up our cutting of all areas over both courses going into the new season
Tees and walkways over both courses have had an application of slow release fertiliser to aid in recovery from the winter
With the temperatures starting to rise we are out spraying our fairways etc over both courses with a selective herbicide to control daises on the playing surfaces
All our Railway sleeper areas and tee bins have been painted for the new season on the Balcomie course
The 10th fairway bunker on the Balcomie course being rebuilt
The last of the bunkers on hole 3 of the Balcomie course being rebuilt
With the dry spell we have been out watering all our new bunkers and turf areas and we are keeping an eye on moisture levels in the greens and watering when required
Mowers being checked for cut quality and setting the cutting heights
Our last bunker on our winter project was the 16th greenside on the Balcomie course
We have extended the 11th back tee path on the Balcomie course up closer to our 10th green as this walkway was always difficult to keep good grass coverage on the surface
This will be much better at coping with the wear and tear
Fits nicely into the existing area at the 11th tee
On our driving range we have an area for corn bunting birds etc as a food source, so this area was cut and collected, then rotovated, raked, seeded, raked again then rolled, hopefully the forecasted rain comes to help this area germinate ready for later this year
