as we will soon be in the process of sculpting 18 more...

did they have any feedback other then it suxed?

also once the 3-5 trees I seen on 15 are gone..it will be a very difficult hole that will challenge them to get better...but be much more fair

did they offer any positive feedback? or overall suggestions?

always curious on input good/bad to help in the quest of course completion

[Paul Schueller]

I think there were too many trees and not a real line to go for it on 15 and 18. They definitely stepped up to a few tees and liked the hole, 12 comes to mind.

[Titan_Bariloni]

cool 12 is a great hole for sure

hole 18...grrrrr time to figure four leg lock it into submission..I suspect it taps for mercy soon

[Arty Graustein]

Titan just for the record, I took a 5 on 18 on Sunday. Even with a tee shot that made it over the wall dead center fairway that hole was still a monster. Part of the problem, besides it still being a long tight fairway finish from there, is the footing wasn't good. This will improve with more workdays and as the course matures. I agree with most of Paul's assessment. A lot of the holes just require the ability to throw straight. I do have to say though that off the tee even when I did miss the fairways on the left side I had good opportunities to scramble out of there and save a lot of threes. So in that sense then yes I would say some of the holes were righty friendly. However, I wasn't on right side that much off the tee so who knows how accurate that last statement is.

is the footing wasn't good. This will improve with more workdays and as the course matures.

for sure..something Guy and I have been discussing

going to arrange a RF&G club workday focused on raking,leave blowing,debris removal,pole sawing...sometime before August

added with more people playing to break er in..in part is the reason it is free to play this year they are smart enough to realize the help breaking it in is worth it..I am glad they saw the value in that

anyways we will make sure 18 is always a conservation piece...but not for the mentioned reasons..

[Titan_Bariloni]

played with Cupcake,Don wedge today..well I walked while they played cuz my wrist hurts

bugs ruined their adventure though..crazy but tis that time o year and extra wet with mild sun is crazy this year everywhere

is your saw sharpened?
I would like to cut the 2 trees on 7 to make that hole more fair..I have thought hard about what 2 and they are mediums and then we have the hole where it needs to be

also I would like to pole saw on 5-8..so maybe while you weedwhack I will do that?

can you pick me up at 730am? start when we get there?

will check board at 7am for details

hope to cya

[Guy_Lyman]

[Titan_Bariloni]

Guy and I crushed some work for a few hours this morn

Was great no bugs slight breeze and good temp

Pole sawed on 5.6.7
Guy crushed weedwhacking on trail from 5-6 and the entire hole 5

Next up weedwhacking on 6.7.9

the back is fine for ground cover

We also cut 2 trees on 7, not the 2 I thought at first
But I like the new pure line

I will be MIA prob till after 6/29 as far as work as I have family duties galore upcoming

will try to get tee pad materials,equipment rolling though as July was always the target month for that

[Guy_Lyman]

Out til June 29 I will continue the fight solo then. I just ordered a 21 foot pole saw. Maybe that will speed up your return
Good times

[Titan_Bariloni]

yeah sux

possible for 6/25 a wedz

[Titan_Bariloni]

I just ordered a 21 foot pole saw

nice how long is the one you have?

with my arms extended prob over 7ft for sure plus 21 we should have airways looking sweeet to the moon soon

[Guy_Lyman]

The one we were using was 6 feet probably 11 feet extended

[Titan_Bariloni]

wow that will be a huge difference

[Guy_Lyman]

Weed wacked the snot out of 6 today. You have to see to believe. Lovely to say the least

[Titan_Bariloni]

[Guy_Lyman]

Pole saw arrived yesterday evening. Ready to go. I did think about before and after but after firing up the wacker I couldn't put it down. It took about 5 hours to complete...and I am not just talking about the main fairway
