All go this week with preparing both the courses for their Gents and Seniors Opens

 We are continuing to spike the surfaces on the greens to aid water penetration into the soil profile

 After we spike we will brush, cut then turf iron to smooth the surface off for play

 Another application of wetting agent to the greens

 Both courses are starting to green up after the rain, so we have carried out more cutting to keep things neat and tidy

 We are carrying on with our light top-dressing of sand to the Craighead course greens then watering in

 We have marked off the areas on the tees on the Craighead course and gave them 2 heavy top-dressings of sand to improve the surfaces for the British Ladies Senior Championships in September

 Our new short game area is coming on nicely with just 1 bunker to fill with sand and build road at rear to finish off this project ready for opening on the 28th of August

 new road at rear of short game area, this will really finish/tidy up this area

 We have replaced all the surrounds on our tee sprinklers on both courses to tidy them up and re-level them

With having the British Ladies Senior Championships in September, we have had to install ducting for electric cabling to the bottom of our car parks for the R&A portacabins etc
