When we have had the chance because of the adverse weather we have been carrying out cutting to keep the surfaces tidy

 The 17th Greenside bunker on the Craighead course being rebuilt, we have left the rebuilding for a week to allow the bottom part of the new face to settle

 We have been really lucky as we have missed most of the snow that has fallen, but have just suffered with the frosts and more rain/sleet most of January

 The wall rear of the 14th green on the Craighead course is now rebuilt and looking great, we will tidy up the surrounding area, add soil and re-turf the length of the dyke

 We have managed to apply a light top-dressing of sand to greens and surrounds on both courses

 Rubbing in of the top-dressing

 The fairway bunker on hole 15 of the Balcomie course has been rebuilt

 We have carried out deep tining to the Balcomie course tees

 Also we have aerated above all the recent drainage areas on both courses to allow the water to drain quicker off the surfaces into our new drains

 We have made a start to painting the tee markers and tee posts for the Balcomie course in adverse weather

Digging the new irrigation trenches for the new short game is ongoing

Happy New Year

 Courses looking really well for the time of year plus after the cold and wet weather, fingers crossed for slightly better weather

 We have concreted in a new drain at our new material bays in our yard

 We have had over 55mm of rain since the new year, all our new drainage that has been completed in the last few years is really paying off

 All this water was drained away before the next morning

 Our new drainage working really well

 We have now completed  the rebuild to the 15th bunker on the Balcomie course

 With the weather improving we deep solid tined the Craighead course tees again plus both our putting greens

 We have applied a dew dispersant to help reduce disease pressure and dews in the morning on the Craighead course greens

 Our main project for the next week or so is to rebuild the large green side bunker at hole 17 on the Craighead course
