Our new short game area that was just built this year is coming on really well and is now open for a few weeks before we close it for the winter period to allow it to fully establish for next season

 The weather was perfect last week to get another light top-dressing on the Craighead course greens before the rain that we got to help wash the sand into the profile

 With the 12 weeks of drought we had this Summer, some of our fairways have suffered grass lose, so we borrowed a fairway disc seeder from Leven Links GC to allow us to try and get new seed into these weak areas before the end of the growing season to help recovery

 While we had this machine, we trialed it on a part of our 1st green on the Balcomie course to see what the results will be compared to our seeder

 With it coming to our financial year end, we had some money left in the budget to allow us to carry on repairing the dyke along side the Greenkeeping shed and coastal walk, this will help really tidy this area up and hopefully complete this task next year

 We have been out re-shaping the sand in the Greenside bunkers

 This week we are hosting the 2018 Ladies Senior British Open Amateur Championship on the Craighead course
