1/2 Like most courses at the minute, our irrigation system is working hard through the night, while the water bowser continues to target areas without irrigation and assist with seed germination.

Another settled week with cool, dry conditions has provided excellent opportunities for tournament set-ups across the course.
We also took the chance to carry out some improvement work on a couple of our weaker greens, including mini tining, verticutting and topdressing.
Just a little insight into some of the conditioning improvements over the years.
There’s still much ahead of us, but we’re clearly heading in the right direction and making steady progress.
Great work, team @Leven_links
2/2 Work across the course has focused on a range of key tasks, including replenishing turf nursery’s, applying wetting agents/fertilisers, bowser irrigation & carrying out Terra Raking on rough areas to improve definition & increase density.
1/2 Always a challenging time of year with growth minimal due to dry condition & low temperatures, while expectations remain high from both staff & players.

Great progress this week with the new phased irrigation project.
The new 18th mainline is now installed & primed, surge protection in place as well, all ready for the 17th & 18th greens next week.
Attention to detail always at the forefront from Callum & Dougie.

Day one of @tartanprotour is complete. The weather looks settled for the next few days of the tournament, making it ideal.
Big thanks to the guys at Double A for the machinery support this week. We look forward to the new fleet arriving in November.

Greens looking healthy and rolling well.
Nice to see @BarenbrugUK#RPR work its magic on some of our worn walkways.
Cue the downpour for another reset. 🙌🏼 👌🏼

Irrigation is being put to the test, indeed.
Like most days lately, today we recorded a 3.2% average moisture loss (just on 18th) over five hours, and to think we are not at peak summer heat yet.

Great to present to the BIGGA Scotland & Northern Ireland Central Section about the changes and improvements at @Leven_links.
Also some good information from other speakers and members of the section.
