 This week it's the Craighead course mid week closure so the plans were to carry out more aeration work to the greens, surrounds and fairways this week, certain surrounds were hollow cored & heavy top-dressed with a bigger tines to help improve firmness
 All the greens and surrounds were mini hollow cored with a 11mm tine, cleaned up, verti-cut then cut to help control thatch levels which will in turn give us better draining greens etc


 Then the greens & surrounds etc were lightly top-dressed and rubbed in before vibrate rolling them

 The green side bunker at hole 7 has been rebuild, this bunker has a lot of traffic so this rebuild is carried out every 2 to 3 years
We have a dry stone dyker contractor in when the course is closed to rebuild the 11th wall from the fairway back down to the tees. With the Balcomie course being open its was just course set up each morning and any cutting etc required to keep things neat & tidy
