View from behind 14 green

The golf course is in great shape and playing well.  I have received numerous compliments on the condition of the golf course recently.  I am lucky to have a great agronomy team.  They have been working hard and it definitely shows.


New steps on #8 left greenside bunker

A couple of weeks ago we had a bit of rain and did not have to irrigate.  We had been waiting for such an opportunity to free up Jerry to complete the new steps on the hole 8 left greenside bunker.  Jerry does great work, and the steps on hole 8 are no exception.  The new steps make getting in and out of this bunker a much easier process.


Equipment upgrade!

Thanks to our new ownership, we were able to acquire the sprayer pictured above.  Our previous sprayer was getting pretty tired and had over 4,000 hours.  It served us well, but it was definitely time for something more reliable.  I have used it a few times and it does a great job.  It should serve us well for years to come.


Irrigation break near 5 approach

The irrigation system has been a challenge at times so far this irrigation season.  Jerry has been busy with the irrigation system to say the least.  This picture was taken about 2 hours after he was scheduled to leave for the day.  He has shown outstanding dedication to the golf course during his long tenure here.

New flags

The name of the golf course has changed from Sandpines Golf Links to Florence Golf Links.  There is quite a bit that goes on behind the scenes for a name change.  We have new flags, course signage, score cards, merchandise, website, email addresses, blog, and uniforms.  Those are just the things that come to mind, I am sure I forgot a few.  Florence Golf Links has 2 logos (the one on the flag above, and the one on the sign below). 

The clubhouse is also in the process of being painted.  I will add some pictures upon completion.


New hole signs

Come play a round of golf and see for yourself what is going at Florence Golf Links.  Hope to see you soon.
