With reducing cutting going into the winter, we will look at brushing our fairways to help disperse worm casts which are a real problem at this time of year for us 

With cutting reducing it will allow us to get back to the work at the 7th tee path on the Balcomie course which we could not complete in April due to Covid 

hopefully this project will be completed by end of November as we are still on reduced staffing levels 

Last week we managed to apply a ton of top-dressing sand to each green on the Craighead course then gentle rub in to help dilute thatch levels, we are hoping to apply another ton to each green next month plus solid tine the surfaces to help merge the sand into the profile 

Once the sand was washed in we then applied our winter fertiliser to the greens 

Our newly turfed 1st winter tee on the Balcomie course is coming on really well and has been rolled then had it's first cut 

We have replaced another old bin with our in-house recycling bins made from Railway sleepers at tee 8 on the Balcomie course, once we get a dry/calm day the steps etc will be painted to freshen this area up 

When we get a chance we will check the new irrigation lines on the Balcomie course if they need seeded and top-dressed to smooth them out, we were hoping to have this done earlier this year but struggled for time with the reduced staffing levels
