The season is here

All go over both courses as we are now starting to carry out more cutting each week 

Last week we held the Battle trophy over the Craighead course, so are main focus was making sure all surfaces had additional cutting and extra course prep for this competition, great to see this back at Crail with 2 years missed due to Covid

Tees being cut each day of play 

Holes being changed each day of play 

Greens, cut & rolled & surrounds cut 

We have now started our monthly spiking of greens to 25mm and spraying wetting agent/seaweed to help open up the surfaces slightly to allow better air & water movement without interfering with play 

Our short game area green being spiked, overseeded then heavy top-dressed to allow recovery from all the winter play same with our winter tees 

We have replaced the bell and post and bin with more of a fitting style with the use of Railway sleepers on our 16th tees on the Craighead course 

Flags and cups replaced for the start of the new golfing season over both courses 

We have now changed our tee markers to green for the front tees instead of red/blue going forward and the tee plaques will be replaced next season 

The area on the driving range that we seed out each year for a food source for the Corn buntings and bees etc has been completed and reseeded 

Once we get slightly more heat we will look at reducing our cutting heights on the greens from 5mm to 4.5mm to help smooth the surfaces out with the grasses starting to grow at different levels 

A small winter job was to enlarge one of the 10th greenside bunkers on the Craighead course, replace the sand and check the drainage etc for the season 

Greens being sprayed with wetting agent/seaweed then watered in before play
