The season is here

 Our new short game area on the driving range is now open

 Railway sleeper work is now completed all the way round the tee path at the 15th on the Balcomie course

 Some back filling required and gorse planting behind the new sleepers

 Whin dusting of the path surface has been started and will be completed next week to complete this major winter project just in time for the season starting

 We have now started to collect the grass clippings from the Balcomie course fairways to help reduce weed seeds and worm cast and present cleaner surfaces

 Screening sand for topping up bunkers will be ongoing for the next couple of weeks

 We have applied a soluble iron to the Craighead course fairways to help deter moss

 Between holes 6 & 8 and 9 & 18 on the Craighead course we have been planting more gorse to help separate these holes,add more feature and encourage wildlife to these areas

 some cracking mornings

 More course furniture being painted going into the season

 We have knocked down the old storm hut at the 3rd tee on the Balcomie course as it was in disrepair and is getting rebuilt like for like

 this should be completed and painted by the end of next week, weather pending

This week we have been trialing a fairway brush to help reduce cutting in the winter months and clean the surfaces of worm-casts/stand the grass up before cutting which should help reduce wear and tear on our cutting units and give better presentation
