It's that time of year again to carry out essential aeration work to the greens on the Balcomie course to relieve compaction and reduce thatch levels
Greens 5,6,9,10 & 18 have been large hollow cored to help improve these surfaces more
all the cores cleaned up before verti-cutting, cutting, spiking and overseeding
the other 13 greens were just mini-cored
verti-cutting after the coring to help rip out more thatch and clean the surfaces up before seeding
then spiking and overseeding to help improve the grass sward
divoting the Balcomie course landing areas after a very busy season
The Craighead course greens received their Autumn fertiliser to aid in the recovery from their aeration work 2 weeks ago, which consisted of mini-coring and verti-cutting to help reduce thatch levels and open up the surfaces
The cutting and collecting of deep rough areas on the Craighead course is ongoing to help reduce the thickness of these areas long term
