We need assistance with watering the mountain laurels on Hole 16..........I don't want a repeat of last year. There are six of them, if you have a spare 5 gal water bottle - there are places in the park to fill them.

Any help is appreciated.

We will NOT be interfering with THE ACT (jasinbayer)

A couple more bodies would be grand.

Dream come true, was able to schedule my engagement party this Saturday at the prettiest course I've ever played. Just trying to get some updates on the course the way it's playing in 2016. We're doing an A/B doubles, and I wanted to know if there were any new short tees for females and the people who've never played. Last time I was there I remember shorts on 1,3,6,8,11 and a makeshift spot on 18. Thinking 4, 5, and 15 for CTP's. Any advice would be helpful.

[Joseph Mason Proud, III]

There is a small short teepad on 1, just below the cross country trail

3 is the same, just before the gap

6 has a pad on the right side of the fairway

8 and 11 are not permanent, but still there

ctp choices are, um, choice

In the meanwhile, if you want to do some preseason pickup - that is always welcomed.....just try to make piles in accessible areas for vehicles to pickup.
