With the continuing mild weather we have been carrying on with work on the golf course, we finished cutting down the trees at the edge of the loch on 10. We also filled the last bunker on 14 with sand, that's all the new bunkers now complete. We only have to go back to the old bunkers and put a fresh edge on them for the new season. We have also finished of the new ladies tees on the course by finishing turfing the banks.






The greens are all at different stages of thawing out, as it stands the wee greens are on full. On the big course around about half of the greens are ready for play, if the weather carries on in the same manor we should hope to get a few more in play for the weekend but as you know it is all weather dependant. The greens are generally in good condition we are starting to lose a little bit of colour and as the different grasses lose the colour at different rates the uniformity of colour is not as it was during the growing season. This is a common thing to happen as the greens are not being fed during the winter months as if you feed them they can flush up and encourage a serious disease problem. If the greens are able to take it we will try roll them later in the week obviously this is weather dependant and how well the greens thaw out.
