The Balcomie course greens have been sprayed with liquid fertiliser & wetting agent
Greens being cut in front of play
The weaker fairways on the Balcomie course being watered to help the seed germinate
We have been out with the drone taking pictures of the staff setting up the courses
The Craighead greens have been mini-cored to help reduce thatch levels & firm up the surfaces, this also allows better water & air movement through the profile
Once the greens were mini-cored & cleaned up they were then lightly verti-cut to take more thatch out the surface
The amount of debris from each green
There is very little disturbance to the surfaces once they have been cut & turf ironed
The Craighead surrounds have been fertilised to aid recovery from a very busy season
Our wildflower area next to the putting green has worked really well and looking great with all the colours, this is such a benefit to insects/bees & butterflies etc
In the same area as the wildflowers, the banking has been great attracting sand martins to nest this Summer
We are starting to get digging from badgers on our 11th tees on the Craighead course and other areas over the site
We are spiking,seeding and sanding areas where we have been hit by a disease called Take all patch on our greens, this is ongoing to aid recovery
