A very Linksy course this year due to the prolonged drought we have had this Summer with only 76mm of rain in the last 3 months 
We have received nearly 6mm of rain yesterday which has really helped the courses perk up and add slight more growth to our greens, so we have been turf ironing behind the mower to help add pace to the surfaces 
The Craighead course tees being cut, divoted and sprayed with a liquid fertiliser to aid in recovery from the drought 
We have made a start to cutting round certain gorse areas on the Craighead course to help reduce the dense grass which surrounds these areas, basically the same principle when we cut and collect our deep roughs to help thin these areas out and make them slightly more playable 
On that note we have started the cutting and collecting of our deep rough areas, this will be ongoing right through the Autumn months on areas over both courses when weather permits 
We are making progress on connecting our new borehole at our dump area next to the 12th tees on the Craighead course 
We have added more H&S signage at the tees on hole 2 of the Balcomie course to reduce and hopefully stop golfers hitting/playing onto the 12th fairway while golfers are playing the 12th fairway
