Rhododendron blooming on hole 6

The rhododendrons are blooming in Florence. They are really beautiful this time of year. The greens are healing up nicely from aeration. The weather has been excellent for golf. The extended forecast is looking great as well. With warmer temperatures on the way in the valley, its a great time to play a round at Sandpines.

The greens, collars, approaches, tees, fairways, and rough were all mowed this week. Greens and approaches were also fertilized. The hole locations were changed. Bunkers were raked. Tee aeration and cleanup were performed on holes 1-10 and 12. Our goal was to finish tee aeration this week, but we had a few equipment issues that prevented us from completing the process. Greens were hand watered and minor adjustments and repairs were made to the irrigation system.
