Yesterday the calm before the storm, on the Balcomie course we finished all the slit tining to the fairways then they were all cut to smooth off the surface, verti-drained all the tees then cut and top-dressed our greens turf nursery, the greens are slowly recovering from the aeration work and we are trying to roll the surface when dry and hopefully start cutting them again next week as all the heavy rain has helped wash in the top-dressing

Last night and through to this morning we received over 45mm of rain which caused severe flooding so both courses were closed and we managed to open the Balcomie course at 11am apart from holes 5,6 & 7 hopefully both courses will be back fully open tomorrow for the weekend
