WOW! That is awesome, Thanks Guys. I love the Devens Crew. Good group of people. Speaking of Otter Brook, I'm off to fire up the chain saw and continue the work. Devens will feel right at home at OB, it's got a similar flow and feel to it, can't wait for you to check it out and get some feedback.

[Titan_Bariloni]

yeah way to go devens

[Rob Breckenridge]

Allright, progress continues to be made, we had 11 guys show up last Sunday for a work day, hoping for another good turnout this Sunday.

Also good news: I now have keys to open the gate so we can drive down and a key for a storage shed that we can keep our saws, shovels, etc in. Not having to walk all this in every time will be nice.

Still plenty of work to do, most Fridays I am out there and every Sunday morning we will be there until we get the front 9 baskets in the ground. If anyone has experience in irrigation-water flowage, we could use your help.

Huge thanks to all who have given time, feedback and $, to support this effort, we are now a little over 700$ in the course fund!

[Titan_Bariloni]

Rob i used to do the work you need help with but in va..i will check the water issues out this week..

[Rob Breckenridge]

It's primarily on #6, dog leg left hole up old logging road, I want to get that water flowing, it crosses #4, but I think we addressed that adequately last fall with some temp bridges. I think if we trench it a bit, it should run, probably will never be dry, but it wont be the rank primordial ooze that it currently is. stagnant water=big mosquito problem.

[Rob Breckenridge]

We had 6 workers today, continued the seemingly endless task of clearing 3 and building a log bridge, it's coming along, but talk about labor intensive...however,it will get done, and this course will be sweet.

[Titan_Bariloni]

yeah that hole is a beast and will be a corner stone of that course...sweet downhill wooded bomb with a nice approach
to a green with a SCENIC rolling stream lurking...the alt shot is awesome as well

I still think 7 is gonna be easier..derek things it will be crazy to..but once the mouth is carved it should be less then 3

really looking forward to seeing all the hard work..will be Keene Friday...

hope to cya then

[Rob Breckenridge]

You'll be impressed, for me it's like time lapse photography, it's hard for me to gauge how much has been done, I'll spend 6 hours out there pole sawing and then look around and think, man, it doesn't look like I did anything, I guess Rome wasn't built in a day, neither was Otter Brook. I'll be out there Friday 9 am, bring Johnny, Hub likes having company.

[Titan_Bariloni]

cool..I may even be earlier..as I gotta go to GG and MM also that day

[Titan_Bariloni]

yup still on..will bring J-LO to run with Hubdizzle

[Rob Breckenridge]

I'll be there a bit after 9, if I don't see your vehicle I'll unlock the gate so you can drive down (it will look like it is closed but you will be able to open up) I should have explained this to Derek last week Hub d is pumped to see Johnny cakes and may bring some special scooby snacks to share that his mom made for him. great for morning breath.

[Rob Breckenridge]

Solid work day for a Friday, 6 bodies! HOle #3 is almost playable! Hey TItan, I don't know about Johnny but Hub is wasted he hasn't gotten off the couch all afternoon! That's ok, a tired dog is a good dog.

[Titan_Bariloni]

lol..funny cuz I just thought Johnny was dead....he had been lying in his chair for so long I had to check if he was breathing...he is..just super tired from fun with Hub

man oh man is that hole sweeeeet..and yes solid group for a friday morning

people are gonna be in for such a treat when all these holes are brought to life

thinking about hole 7...I keep saying the "mirror to 3" I am kinda wrong in saying that...It should be the polar opposite of hole 3....that said..I think the "mouth" of hole 7 should be semi tight...then open up more towards uphill approach...as hole 3 is open--then closes up

do ya get what I mean?

[Rob Breckenridge]

Yeah I get you, (probably one of the few that do) looks like Derek got some stuff down on #6, I'll be out there this week w/chainsaw and hopefully a helper to start knocking down 7. Time to start talking and thinking about planting baskets

[Titan_Bariloni]

will be in town wedz again..I know ya guys work but just letting ya know

the people at GG make me L-O-L

I agree about baskets...as hole 8 is basically there..and 9 will just be a few big cuts to remain tight..just 7 needs major work

also the gap on 4 will need one selective cut..now that the hole is cut..TY Rob for leaving those trees until further discussion..you do really listen..you must make a good husband...lol...the hole can have a nice anny line if the gap over huge boulder is the chosen route..but anyways the giant pine tree and huge rock make it look real nice

as far as 6 goes..I think 2-4 semi big logs or 2 logs abutted to make the run will do..it will allow a walking area to grab disc..and then the main trail can just flank towards the left hand side...in regards to drainage..the road does go right there..so maybe rangers in time will have better solution(actual colvert/drainage...and we can always clean up the exit point of water(if ya dare call it that..lol) that will drain it better to the brook behind 4's tee area

that brook behind 3'w greeen is awesome and once cleaned up will just look amazing...the mossy rocks creating waterfall look sick

well anyways maybe cya wedz

[Rob Breckenridge]

I cleared my afternoon schedule for tomorrow and will be out there around 1:00 PM, good luck @ GG.

[Titan_Bariloni]

cool meeting at GG for 10..and the attention span of GG peeps is that of a jellyfish so should not be that long..cya after that

[Rob Breckenridge]

Worked until 5, the green area for #3 is starting to pop, did some minor cutting, raking, and building a log berm around the circle. that is going to be one gorgeous hole when it is all said and done.

[Titan_Bariloni]

nice rob..ended up going to league after I left OB..lost and found was calling my name..good return rate tonight

and no rain..lol

anyways I can't stress enough on how awesome that hole is and will be

should we put tissues and lotion on the tee?

[Titan_Bariloni]

also rob..maybe a fresh thread..with copy pasted link to this one for keep sakes in post 1..as you cant update thread title in this one..and so ya can alert peeps to things in title

just a thought

plus it will be more current with all this pre hype/early stage just archived away for thread viewers

[Rob Breckenridge]

PRobably should have an oxygen tank and some chairs, people will faint when they see this hole.

[Titan_Bariloni]

rob call me later...

GG grand opening June 1st 10am

random dubz gathering at 3pm

also leagues will start June 11th on tuesdays

[Rob Breckenridge]

Crushed hole 8 all day, all chain sawing is now done, hole is opened up nice, multiple routes to pin and a nice ace run from the alt tee pad.

[Titan_Bariloni]

so just 7,9 to go for the major saw work?

did ya do the alt on 8? cuz that is sweet line..just wondering...

hole 9 rob..as you know is tight shot..so just 1-2 big boys will surfice

can't wait to see your "line" on hole 10 opened up..heck that entire back 9 is awesome IMO...2-3 of them I am really excited to see

[Titan_Bariloni]

see how I just transitioned ya to the back nine robbbby.....lol

I know 9 at a time...just can't wait

[Rob Breckenridge]

Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with how it is coming, 9 is a bit more work than what you might initially think, but doable in a day with several guys working. The Alt line from 8 is real nice,Also carved an Anny line fairway from the teepad, that's what I like about this design, multiple lines and opportunities to develop a variety of throwing styles. also cleared up some scraggly trees that lead up to "lookout rock", sat there yesterday for a while and looked out upon our creation and thought "how F#cking cool is this".

Time to put rain gear on and go stack and clear.

[Titan_Bariloni]

well I suspect cutting the trail to nine from 8 will also take a lil time...

how many big trees estimated rob for 9? sorry beeen awhile since I saw the hole...also have ya explored anymore on alt nine...shooting down from up top? I know I was gonna leave that to mark B as he expressed interest in shaping that shot..but now i guess it is in the hand of the man with the saw...

well anyways I will be in town wedz again...will try to do some piling and check out 9..if ya want and can I would love to see some monsters trees go kaaaaboooom that day

LMK

[Titan_Bariloni]

or should I start digging holes? maybe GE can get the hole digger up there and I can just bang 9 holes out so at least they are mostly dug out

do you guys have sleeves and cement just curious?
