The weather has been excellent for golf this week at Sandpines. It has been nice and sunny, but not too hot. Just right for golf. The course is in great condition. I have received a number of compliments on the condition of the greens. They are rolling very true.

The greens were groomed, top dressed with sand, and brushed earlier this week. Why groom and top dress with sand? Greens that receive consistent grooming and top dressing tend to be much smoother and firmer than those that do not. Greens that are smoother and firmer putt much better than those that are bumpy and soft.

One of our goals this week was to aerate a few wet areas on the driving range and in the rough throughout the course. We got started, but the aerator broke down before all the areas were completed. We hope to get the aerator repaired soon, so we can finish the targeted areas.
