True, then you just use a different color. Then you have the Blue course and the Red Course.

Cement markers will work fine also.

Arrows on trees not a bad idea either. Over time it will be easy as the path should get worn into the ground.


Cannot wait to check it out.

Is there a park bulletin board you can use? If so, I'd just get one of those brochure boxes and put some printed maps in there.

Painting spokes is okay, but there aren't really enough spokes to get an accurate direction. Plus, are you pointing to the path to get to the next tee or the actual direction?

Buried bricks sounds good. How about doing that for tees in case some flags disappear?

Are there more workdays to come? I'm definitely willing to come and do what i can to help labor-wise etc.
What more needs doing, and how can it get done?
Has whoever decides where the long & short tees go - decided where they might go?

Is the tournament planned for mid-August still on?

We need to get go out and discuss the alt pin placement to make final decisions so we can get the signs printed up before the end of the year. If we don't do this we will lose those funds. I say an hour or so before league on sunday. Any thoughts??

When are they pouring tee pads?
When are we spraying for poison ivy? (Harvey got the stuff?)
When are we spraying for ticks? (Mace get that other stuff?)
When are we digging alternate pins?

I'm free after work on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Also, the 24th.

So as I understand it, the first scheduled workday is this Thursday, May 6th, 6pm; earlier if one can make it.

With Number 9 being the hole of focus.

Poison ivy should be the focus. I took this picture the other day....

Not really... It's not really a picture of Thomas but hole #14 could get this bad if we don't spray soon. I hate that stuff!!
