I'm going out to the Park this morning to assess damage - apparently there are A LOT of trees down from the storm Wednesday night.

Will compile a list of needs to be addressed.

BIG NEWS!!!

E LOT

Bring Saimond covers

We will install and rejuvenate the course, followed by pizza, followed by random draw dubs

Bump...

WICKHAM INSTALLATION DAY IS THIS SATURDAY

9AM - let yourself into the Park and get to Hole 1

We will install, then eat Pizza, then play a round of dubs

There will be a lot of sticky picky to be done, so please bring gloves

KOVO RULE IN EFFECT: If you don't show up to work, don't expect to be served pizza. Butt you can play dubs.

HUGE THANKS to the 35 volunteers who came out on Saturday to help get Wick back on it's feet.

Stickie pickie crews - basket installers - tee pad rejuvenators - tee sign rejuvenators

You guys are the brest!!!

Park open officially this Saturday - enjoy and thanks again.


NOTE ON PARKING FEES:

Daily pass is going to $5 - Weekend day pass is going to $7

Please consider a season pass - which DOES include weekends - for $100 - this has NOT gone up.

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.

Tomorrow, we are moving the tee for Hole 1

8AM

E Lot

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.

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


we will be out there working in advance of GHDGO

Planning on being out there tomorrow afternoon and prior to league on Sunday - feel free to pitch in - just let me know what you are up to. Thanks
