Monthly spiking of our greens & PG's over both courses before we apply our wetting agent and liquid fertiliser, this allows us to get our product into the profile and helps reduce compaction 

Then the greens were cut and rolled to smooth off the surfaces before play 

We have had 3 different cable issues with our irrigation system on the Craighead course, which have all been traced and fixed 

Setting up both courses for our Club Championships 

Applying wetting agent and a little liquid fertiliser on our greens & surrounds before the rain that is in the forecast (fingers crossed) as both courses are very dry 

The weaker/dryer fairways on the Balcomie course have had an application of wetting agent and fertiliser to help the plant in these dry conditions 

With the AIG ladies final qualifier just round the corner on the Craighead course,we have our planned fertiliser program on greens, surrounds and tees being applied today 

fertilising tees on the Craighead course 

With it being so dry, we have been applying irrigation water to our greens, surrounds and tees during the night, but we will check moisture levels beforehand to help reduce water usage where possible 

We have been out very lightly scarifying our Balcomie course fairways to help cut off any longs ends to tidy up the surfaces

Applying irrigation in the mornings before the wind picks up, this allows us to get better coverage on the target areas 

Last week we had a very successful beach clean along the coastline of the Balcomie course with Volunteers from our Membership and the Green staff 

All the old/damaged creels etc from the beach, The local council will be collecting these in due course

The new turf area in front of our new driving range mat area has been worked on by reducing the cutting height to fairway height, then the area was over seeded and heavy top-dressed then fertilised 

The weaker fairways have been watered with our rain train to help keep the grass alive and water in the wetting agent and fertiliser 

A job we have tried to do more of is divot/seed our fairways to aid recovery from play
