| Hole #11 |
Sandpines has received over two inches of rain since Monday. Despite the wet weather fairway aeration was completed on Thursday. The recent aeration of all the short grass areas (greens, tees, approaches, & fairways) has kept the course in very playable condition even though the rain has been heavy at times. The greens were top dressed early in the week. Needless to say, the rain has washed the sand in nicely. The golf course is in good shape and its a great time to get out and play some golf over the holiday weekend.

| New fawn |
The wildlife at Sandpines has been busy this spring. I took the picture above early in the week. The fawn was estimated to be about 1-2 days old at the time. There are a couple of sets of baby ducks around as well. One set has been hanging around the pond located between holes 16, 17, and 18. The other set can be seen around the pond on holes 4 and 5. The killdeer chicks are hard to tell from the adults at this point. They can be heard frequently around the course. These are just a few of the examples I have noticed this week while working around the course. If you keep an eye out while you are playing, you will surely see many more examples of wildlife spread throughout the golf course.
