 With bringing in all the course furniture it has made it slightly easier and quicker to carry out cutting of tees & semi-roughs. Tees on both courses have been brushed, cut then a selective herbicide sprayed to reduce weeds
 We have now completed all the aeration work on green 11 on the Craighead course to help aid recovery from the motorbike vandalism, this consisted of more over seeding and top-dressing and brushing in
 Brushing in before and after seeding to help fill in the core holes
 We have continued with double scarifying the Craighead course greens to reduce thatch levels, this will continue into next week due to minimum staff levels
 After the scarifying of the greens they were then blown/cleaned up before a hand cut to help firm the surfaces back up from this work

 Then the greens were watered to help reduce stress from this aeration work
 We concentrated on the Craighead course last week to get most of the main playing areas cut due to this course being a harder growing than the Balcomie course

We carried out seeding and top-dressing to our short game area to help improve the surfaces from the winter play
