What do we need to pull behind sprayer for? Ticks are in the trees, not on the ground. That's the only thing else we would need to spray. I agree a hand pump would be sufficient.

Yes, a hand pump is sufficient. The tee pads should be sprayed with some type of weed killer. Yes, it not something that absolutely needs to happen now but if someone is willing to go out there and get it done, I am not going to stop them. It doesn't hurt to do little things right now since we don't have a good solution for mowing at the moment. That may, however, change next week. The maintenance guy that unlocked the chain blocking the parking lot told me to "get back with him next week" about mowing. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like he might be willing to help out. I guess we'll see.

We talked at league tonight, and I believe we are going to mow the fairways then spray, the trimming and mowing needs to be done first but harvey mention something about spraying the fairways with the pull behind after we mow it. It was mention that there are going to be 3 mowers tonight so i am sure we can get a quite bit done at league night 3 people mowing and then one spraying the fairways and the other people trimming trees and i am bringing a gas powered pull saw plus two others way it sounds, that sounds like a productive night. I am just trying to help out

The cedars along hole 7's tee are going to need some work.....that sounds like a ticky job for sure.


I think we can put a serious dent in this sucker in the few hours we will be able to spend.

My father just informed me that we are bringing a couple of extra chain saws that can be used at league night. This should be a pretty good work night, everybody bring there buddys to help out.

I think we got some stuff accomplished. Many holes are trimmed and mowed, the course could be played by this weekend I would guess.

TBone is coming out to mow on friday, and Bangrr is gonna weed eat some that day too. I will be at the farm so I can't help then.

If we would of had the brush hog mowing the fairways and the little mowers hitting the roughs, she would be mowed!

I don't know what happen to Dave. He is a busy man. Bart probably made him clean some carpet.

5 foot brush hog runs $202 a day. You cannot use it more then 8 hours, you have to refuel it, and clean it before you take it back.


Pretty expensive, but you could knock the course down in 1 day easily.

Harv has some in his backyard. We also have several out at Cherry that are very easy to move. I may drag some out there on Saturday afternoon. We could already play hole 1, 2, 3, 4 with no problem. 5 is mowed but you don't want to be left or right. 6 is also playable.

Probably start with 9 at SW, and just kind of move them around as we see fit. We have some options.
