What times does it get dark now? 730?

Hopefully we'll have enough light if we start out at 530.

Jack, I'm gonna try to be there as early as possible. I'm figuring between 4-430.

I won't have my $20 today, but I'll have it soon. I can drop it off to Steve at the pool store after I get paid.

Sounds good to me. I have a Grand Marquis, so if you see me fly past I'll prolly be heading for hole 1. I might forget to stop at 7 at first, I have a terrible memory.

Great turnout last night!

I think we'll have a full roster and are gonna surprise a lot of people this year.

Next meeting will be this Sunday, the 7th at Hodges. 5pm, should allow enough light for the full 18.

There is chance that one of these hurricanes may hit us over the weekend. Hanna or Ike, whatever. So we'll play it by ear when it gets close.

Hanna will be here Saturday night into Sunday Morning.

Before then rain on Saturday lots at times...

But I am not weatherman, Meow can attest to that.

I could ask Mark Rosenthal being as he works for me, but he's hardly right anyways.

Radio station. He doesn't work for ME, but works for the station. I'm just Traffic Manager. Traffic means trafficing of spots and shows, not the reports you hear about 128.

He's our weatherman and does forecasts once an hour and has a 1/2 show in the afternoon daily.

I've found that his predictions are the best though. Then again, what weatherman is?

I took this from the Hodges thread. This is the rough location of the "B" positions at Hodges for the nine holes, making up the 18.

Hole one location
Shorter on the right hand side, anhyzer

Hole 2
staighter shot located to the left of the original box, very tight.

Hole 3
hyzer shot, over road to basket. awesome shot.

Hole 4
Pulled back to its original position on the left of the road.

Hole 5
OB now located along road and in bushes, behind basket
Alt tee now located shorter in the field straight shot

Hole 6
alt tee located up the road out in the field, very straight.

Hole 7
Same. A & B are the same tee.

Hole 8
located to the right of original tee on a huge concrete pad. Huge bomb.

Hole 9
Located up the road closer, blind hyzer shot.

Updated.

Hopefully everyone will get back out to Hodges and play a few times to familiarize themselves with the course.

Hopefully all the boxes will be cleaned up and ready soon.

I'm not complaining whatsoever. You, Joe, and everyone else have done an awesome job there. I do believe we have been talking about working on the tee boxes, both there and WT. Cool it, killer.
