Bunker reconstructions are nearing completion, with just four more to finish.
This week all of our machinery underwent full HAVS and noise assessments to ensure the workplace remains compliant.
Greens looking and rolling well as we head into the start of the season.

2/2 The current coloured flag locations will remain in use for now; however, these will be phased out ahead of the start of the season, returning to the traditional two-colour system distinguishing the front nine and back nine.Simply scan the QR code and try it out.

The weather may have been challenging lately, but the links team continues with improvements both on and off the golf course.

Productive last few weeks with the second hole double fairway now linked together.
Changes to the 14th green include a more in-play and aesthetically improved bunker.
Greens are rolling well after some small pencil tinning.
Happy Christmas from all of the Leven Links Team.

2/2 As always, many thanks must go to Callum & Dougie at Applied Irrigation for their attention to detail, first class as expected.

Next up, more bunker construction and shaping work.

1/2 The phased irrigation install is now complete.
The new design and spec of pipework is showing its worth, with the impressive coverage over one of our largest greens here on the Links.

[Leven Links @Leven_links]

We are delighted to continue our partnership with The Double A Trading Company with our updated fleet of John Deere machines.

The service from the entire team has been outstanding, and we look forward to working closely in the future.
Many thanks.

@Frampton1992 Yes Joe, we have also included surge copper plates that are attached to the copper pole away from the valve box via an earthing cable. Toro spec and recommendation. 👍

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.

Great weather for hosting the Scottish Seniors Amateur this week.

Fairways are bouncing back after a dry summer, with more fescue being seeded into specific fairways to aid further recovery.

2/2 It's encouraging to see the hand seeding work that was done on small areas affected by disease is coming through well.

1/2 Last night, we made a great start with greens aeration. The 9mm tine allow the greens to breathe with minimal disturbance to the surface. This procedure will be completed in the next couple of days.

2/2 - We still have irrigation cable issues on the 4th fairway, but other green side decoders have been replaced and are working well.

1/2 - This August (YTD) has been the driest in five years, presenting challenges but also opportunities to improve our surfaces during peak times.

Whilst greens are performing well, there are some minor imperfections from disease issues here & there.
