 A very busy week setting up the Craighead course for the Battle trophy this weekend, the staff have done a great job
 The season is well underway and both courses starting to get great definition



 Fairways have been cut and clippings collected to improve the surfaces and reduce weed seeds
 We have caught up on the last of the course furniture painting, the 15th hole marker pole
 All fairways have been divoted
 We have replaced our signage on the Balcomie course to be consistent with all signs

 This week we applied 6tons of top-dressing sand to the Balcomie course greens before the rain mid week
 after the top-dressing we rubbed the sand into the surface, this should help reduce thatch levels and smooth the surfaces off going into the season
 We have over seeded any weak tees
 Then a heavy top-dressing of sand to cover the seed


 The rebuilding of the 3rd tee storm hut on the Balcomie course is completed, we will landscape the surrounding area in the next few weeks and lay slabs round the building to finish it off
 That's us starting to carry out more cutting each week over all playing areas
 We have repainted our fairway yardage posts for the Craighead course
 We have been in at Crail helping prepare the Crail festival putting green for this Summer
