Course Work / Tournament Preparation
Posted: Wed May 18, 2011 1:10 pm
Here are some notes from last night. Thought it easier to list it all in one spot rather than list in many threads. Only 1 person stuck around for the meeting, so had to make some (tentative) work assignments. Almost anyone listed below could use help with some of this. Let's stay in contact and get this stuff knocked out. Feel free to comment here.
DERBY
-Derby can auger the holes when we are ready to install benches. After Doo Dah. (Bill)
COLWICH
-Colwich will auger the holes out for tee signs and pin placements as soon as mid June. After that, we need a workday to install at least 10 holes. (Bill)
OAK
-Need to get existing mulch on the course. (Bo Carrasco, Russ Trice, Joe Boller: Thursday)
-Have new mulch delivered, possibly by this weekend. (Mike Scho)
-Workdays for new mulch. Everyone who has a truck can help with this anytime. Bring shovels, rakes, and gloves. I will try to get it dumped so we can use a flat shovel to scrape it off the road. (Big job: anyone, anytime, including next weekend)
-Need course report. (Anyone?) Some nickels need replaced. Could contact city for welding our spare nickels (Mike Scho) or could assemble with U-bolts ( Brad Cox).
-Stickers on nickels may need replaced. (Mike Scho)
-Check course for leaning baskets. We could get these re-set if needed. (Anyone?)
-Contact Larry Hoetmer and Riverside Association for approval on benches at Oak. This could also eliminate need for tee signs. (Mike Scho, Bob, Bill)
HERMAN HILL
-Benches to be installed Saturday, starting at 3pm. Mike will finish starting hole locations for 15 benches, likely on Friday. Digging can start earlier on Saturday if possible. Need sharpshooters, spades, post hole diggers, twist auger, yardstick, gloves. 3+ men needed for digging (will be difficult). Holes need to be 20" deep and centered 36" apart. Dug halfway or more with sharpshooter, dug deeper with post hole digger, finished with twist auger, and for added stability, can use spade or other scooping tool to slightly widen the very bottom of the hole.
For the concrete work, we will need a truck. Will need concrete picked up beforehand, at least 20 bags. Will research closest location and best price for concrete (Mike Scho). Can drop off bags of concrete and benches on each hole first. Need wheel barrow, concrete mixing box, 5 gal buckets for water, sharpshooters, spades, level, tamping tool marked at 19" or 20". Hole depths will be set by tamping some sand in the bottom of the holes and making sure benches are level both directions. Concrete will be mixing in the box and scooped in the hole gradually. Benches will be re-checked for level before set. (Need wheel barrow from Crispin (Bo could get), and post hole digger from Jeharamy. For help: Taylor, Mike Scho, James Osborn, Bo Carrasco after 4:30, Mike Speer after 6:00, possibly Don Scho, possibly Brad Cox). First thing to figure out is who will get the concrete and how they will pay for it.
-Other work. Moving tee signs on a couple holes, may install a tee sign on hole 11, add concrete to secure pin placement on hole 11, remove broken bench on hole 8. Plan is to leave benches on holes 3 long, 13 short, 15 short, 16 short, 16 long, 18 short. We will take off the top boards for these and put new on. Top boards can be stained green and side boards can be painted black on old benches. This will give them a few more years of life. (Bill is making 6 new bench top boards).
-Tee signs. Need new laminations. Might try to use Iqbals files again? New laminations need to be UV resistant, be secured with something very strong so they will never peel off, and be sized to fit varying tee sign dimensions. (Taylor)
TOURNAMENT PREP
-Mowing immediately prior to the event: Vyff contacted, haven't yet heard from McCoskey. (Mike Scho)
-Trash clean up at league. (Mike and Mike will hand out bags).
-Sponsor tee signs planted at both courses. (Mike Scho Friday before tourney)
-String river OB at Herman Hill. Holes 6, 14, 15, 16, & 17. May need to buy new string or supplies for securing. (Mike Speer, during week before tourney).
-Paint circles at 10 meters. (Crispin & Ronnie, Thursday or Friday before tourney)
-Mark mandatories, flag drop zones, flag tees, flag additional OB: hole 5 at Oak, hole 10 at HH. (Mike Scho, Friday before tourney).
-Course closed signs. Need to be up Friday night. 2+ at Oak, 1 at Herman Hill. Hole 1 location and any entrances where the sign would be visible. (Mike Speer & Mike Scho?)
-No parking signs. Put in on hole 1 at HH. (Mike Speer)
-Ice water. DD will bring jugs. We can use some of our old coolers to fill up with ice and put bottled water in. Will need to get these on and off the course each morning at Oak. Hole 1 and hole 12 are good locations. (Need volunteers)
