This week is the last of our winter course closures, so tasks were to clean/paint the sleeper bunker on hole 14 on the Balcomie course to help preserve the wood then reshape the bunker sand once the paint was dry

 We blocked our burn up to help dry the bottom to allow us to carry our repairs to the bottom of cementing any damaged or weak areas on the Balcomie course

 Re-turfing and matting going down at the walkway to the Clubhouse from the 18th green on the Balcomie course

Other tasks this week was to tidy up both courses in the way of cutting fairways and any semi-roughs, cutting and collecting deep rough is still on going over both courses

 Cutting and collecting of the deep rough has been on going all week to help improve the playability of these areas on the Balcomie course

 With the temperatures a little higher, we have now installed our new drinking fountain on the Craighead course

 A job we really struggle to keep on top of in the summer months is divoting our fairways so we have carried out this task this week
