Sick of fog? Play in the sun at Sandpines!

Hole 18 basking in the sun

The weather at Sandpines has been spectacular again this week.  I attended a seminar in Portland on Tuesday and Wednesday, and did not see the sun once during the trip.  I did however see clouds and fog.  If you like fog and 35 degrees head inland.  If sunny and 50 degrees sounds better, head to Sandpines and play some golf.  There have been some frost delays this week, but its well worth the wait to play in the sun.


Hole 11

During the frost delays, we were able to get quite a bit more brush mowing done this week.  The brush clearing project in the drainage ditch between holes 6 and 7 was completed earlier in the week.  The fairways were fertilized yesterday.  Most of our time this week has been spent on routine golf course maintenance tasks (mowing, changing cups, raking bunkers).
