Not long until the season starts

Fairways & semi-roughs over both courses have had their first cut getting ready for the season a head 

Thank you to the volunteers that helped the Green staff fully divot the Craighead fairways, this helps having these filled with sand/soil & seed ready for the warmer weather to help recovery on our fairways after a busy winter period  

We have striped our 14th tee on the Balcomie course so it can be re-leved and new turf put down to help with wear and tear of this par 3 tee  

turf being laid 

Tee completed, hopefully this will be back in play by end of April once the turf has knitted in 

We have managed another sand injection to our Craighead course greens before the season starts to help dilute the thatch levels 

You can see the sand injection through the profile, this will also help with air and water movement 

That's both our irrigation systems pressurised up for the season, staff have been out checking on each sprinkler for running correctly  

Any new turf areas are being watered to help stop the turf from drying out, also the dyke has been rebuilt/repaired along the left of hole 12 of the Craighead course 

Once the Craighead greens were sand injected we have applied their Spring fertiliser to help with sand injection recovery and also any recovery from all the winter play 

We have been making our own tee signs again this winter to help with navigation round our courses 

The 3rd (LHS) bunker has been rebuilt on the Balcomie course, we are hoping to rebuild the other (LHS) bunker before the start of the season to complete the bunker work on this hole
