The new toilets are coming along as scheduled on the Balcomie course

 Last week saw our first real frost of the winter, which meant play was on winter greens on the Craighead course to help protect the full greens

 When we do get frosts its a good time to get on with our gorse management plan over both courses, as the staff are away from the main playing surfaces so not to cause damage

 Another job was to edge/weed the maintenance path at the 18th on the Balcomie course

 Trench work is ongoing

 We have managed to get another application of sand on the Craighead course greens, surrounds and par 3 tees to help dilute thatch and produce a firmer surface

 Aeration to fairways is still ongoing when weather permits to help reduce surface compaction from the summers play and mowing

the 9th green side bunker on the Craighead course is being rebuilt to replace the worn and damaged face
