Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:16 pm

I will be back at it tomorrow, shovels and salt are my friends.

Jeff Burrows · Post by **Jeff Burrows** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:39 am

Thanks for all the work you've done. I'll be around daytimes next week if you need help shoveling or making paths or anything else.

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:10 pm

I would love some help tomorrow. Still many more boxes to go.

Jeff Burrows · Post by **Jeff Burrows** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:57 pm

I am available during the daytime most of the week. Will help shovel and play a few holes.

Tim Carter · Post by **Tim Carter** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 8:38 pm

The boxes are done. Very done. Wood visible around the concrete done. I played as I went, and my butt is officially kicked. The snow is up to basket level on a bunch of holes, even higher on 2 and 15. If there is a foot of new snow some greens are going to need to be shovelled or stomped or snowshoed at least just to be playable next weekend. Can't wait for the Ice Bowl! Every week the snow gets deeper and the golf gets more epic.

Wow, dude!!! I owe you...no WE owe you big!!! I have a nice piece of plastic for you-something for your wall or something for your bag.

He also came out last weekend and Spotted like a mad man for the WT-MH challenge!

Hero status for T.Carter!
Good karma awaits you at the WTIB!

Tim Carter · Post by **Tim Carter** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 9:44 pm

I am no hero. Others have shovelled it mutiple times this year. I didnt get ALL the tables/benches cause it was getting dark. And some to the boxes were already started and I just cleaned it up. Cant pile any more snow in front of some of the boxes, it will be too deep to throw flat!

Steve, I was thinking it might help to "pre-treat" the tees before the storm tues-wed. I could tell that there was some melt on the concrete while shovelling, like maybe you had treated them before?

I left a orange buzzz out there maybe hole 1...

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 9:57 pm

That was my thought too. I will get some rock salt. I dont want to use anymore calcium unless we get really icey.

Jeff Burrows · Post by **Jeff Burrows** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 12:52 am

Thought the same thing about salting the tees. We might get 15 inches, but salting the tees might melt the 1st 5-6 inches.
T.Carter, regardless of what you say, you are still my hero, and that only has a little to do with you being my doubles partner for the WTIB. Thanks to Steve and others who have shoveled and salted to keep this course playable.
Will be there at 10AM Monday to do my share, as well as Friday before the tourney.

That is awesome! Thanks for the effort. Trudgeing through that much snow is a chore. You are a trooper. Glad I got that Eagle back to you. I will let you go through my trunk of junk(discs) and pick out a few. And great job spotting for us a couple Sunday's ago. :salut:

Tim Carter · Post by **Tim Carter** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:08 am

Thanks again for that eagle back Kaz, and really y'all (ie the hardcore WTL troopers who are so thankful) are too much:

-Who put the 'crete down and elevated the course so much last summer? Y'all
-Who kept the tees clear all winter up until the last storm? Y'all
-Who is planning to battle more on thursday? Y'all
-Who is too short to walk in the snow? Jeff Burrows (had to throw that one in there)

Its been said elsewhere but if anyone had a snowmobile to run on the fairways for a few hours, problem solved...

Jeff Burrows · Post by **Jeff Burrows** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 12:38 pm

I'm not short, my skills are just more concentrated.
Might have to bring snow shoes for Saturday :lol:

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 6:11 pm

Jeff E and I will be there tomorrow to shovel out and try our ribbons. Come one come all!!

Jeff Emilyta · Post by **Jeff Emilyta** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:52 am

Side note, Steve will be testing out HIS new ribbons, I only have ribbons on my bike handlebars, and in my hair.

Is that not what he meant by trying out your ribbons?? :lol:

Told ya they suck Steve.
Glad they're unnecessary with the kind of snow West T has. Don't think there was any major lost discs at ALL.

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:31 pm

And all 18 are shoveled ..Thanks to Erin Tivan,Kevin Gardner,Dave Jenkins and Jeff Emilyta for coming out and getting the boxes done. I am WIPED OUT!!!!!!

Kevin Gardner · Post by **Kevin Gardner** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:46 am

Anyone around today/tomorrow?
If i get a response before 1 I'll head out for a round today, if not I'll see whats up for tomorrow...

Tim Carter · Post by **Tim Carter** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:22 pm

For the second week in a row, I am putting out the call for a WTL bag tag round on Saturday.

Saturday, 3/5 at 10:30 AM.

So whats in it for you? (other than my fairly high numbered tag?) Beers. Provided by me. For anyone tag holder who shows. Good Beers, bad beers, cold beers and colder beers. Ask Ceasar, I got a pretty deep selection. :drunken:

Please let me know if you want to play in this tag round on Saturday so I can include you in the head/beer count.

If people would prefer a different starting time speak up. If you would prefer to wrap up in your snuggie, sip apple juice and watch Jersey Shore, I can't help you.

Mike Murphy · Post by **Mike Murphy** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:06 pm

I'll be there.

I haven't gotten a round in for a few weeks now. God only knows what awful tag number I have. Even if it is a bit wet out there we wont have 4 ft snow drifts anymore.

Tim Carter · Post by **Tim Carter** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 7:46 pm

The wetter the better.

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:57 pm

The course played well today. It would be hard to lose a disc with the snow being so packed down. Its still 2+ feet and you can sink in occasionally, but even my fat arse stayed on top most of the time.

West T is course of the day at: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/

The trash on the disc golf course continues to be a serious problem.

Not only does this include Holes 1-18, it includes the practice hole and the parking lot. On Tuesday, immediately after I picked up trash and emptied the trash barrels on the course, I saw a beer bottle sitting on top of tee sign 6 right across from our office. Additionally, the picnic table at the practice hole has 2 beer bottles and a water bottle sitting on top of it, and a bunch of lumber underneath it that is visible from the Recreation Road, which has now been there for DAYS. I know that everyone warms-up on the practice basket, so I can't comprehend why no one can pick up the trash while they are there and deposit it in the trash barrel at Hole 1.

If the trash barrel become full, you can take the full bag out and leave it at the yellow gate at the beginning of the course, and I will pick it up. Please put a new bag in the barrel if you do this. Or better yet, carry out any trash that you bring in. Beer bottles and cans become a lot lighter to carry with you once they are empty.

When the course was first put in, it was supposed to be maintained by the disc golfers that use the course, and not by the rangers. That was the agreement. The rangers and the manager at West Thompson Lake are not pleased with the current conditions of the course. If it continues to be a problem, the baskets will be taken off the course and the course will be closed.
