This week the drainage contractors have finally managed to break through all the rock and finish the drainage project so now they are onto the last part of the project and that is to extend and raise the existing mound by the 6th tees, the reason for this is to help reduce the noise level from the local Kart club. With the Balcomie course on it's winter closure this week we have been out slit tining fairways, rebuilding the 11th fairway bunker, reducing a mound on the 17th fairway to make it easier to cut and improve play and top-dressing greens and surrounds.
