We will be having a West Thompson clean up day on Feb 24th to prepare for the tournament on March 1st. Come one, come all.

Will definitely try to be there. Gotta make it nice for a nefa 2x point tourney!

I believe clean up would be for the Tourney 54 which is March 1st, and not sold out yet!

Don't forget about clean up day this SUnday, who's showing?

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:31 am

So far we have Me and Jason, Paul, Kev, Gil, Brian and maybe some Streeter boys.
We are going to meet at 10am and work for a couple hours pulling brush and clearing limbs. The trash is minimal and should be easy to pick up.
Bring a lunch and I will bring the beer. We will get in a round afterwards.
See you there!

It can't sell out yet cause we're saving spots till Feb 24 for the (pampered) players who cashed last year.

Can someone close to West Thompson put together a list of things to do:

Clean up all trash
Rake boxes
Remove dead limbs
Bring friends (Gill)
Bring gloves (not as good as friends)

Who's been there recently? What needs doing?

We also have to make sure to clear the tees -- on all the courses -- right before the tournament on March 1. We'll scramble next week to get that done. We have the technology.

STREETER821 · Post by **STREETER821** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:33 pm

The Streeter's will be there. I have been playing West Tizzle for the last 3 or 4 weeks, and the course is in pretty good shape. I believe the tee boxes are going to need the most attention of all. Between the ice, rain, and run off, there are some pretty lumpy boxes!

Is there anything we can bring to help?

Still wanna do the early-bird round beforehand streeter? The Tizzle is calling.......

Are there any holes under 2 hydrogen and oxygen?

Seamus Scanlon · Post by **Seamus Scanlon** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:08 am

I had my best score ever at West Thompson yesterday, because only 15 holes are playable.
Basket 9 looks like it was shot out of low earth orbit by the navy, it is just laying there busted up, very sad. Baskets 14 and 16 are under ice but on the bright side 17 is a really cool water hole with the water directly behind the basket and really high along the left side.
The worst thing was "the tide is high" by Blonde kept playing in my head like a skipping record

Dave,

Why don't you drop the scoreport off at the store? Oh wait, there never open, even when they say their going to be?? What gives??

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 8:47 pm

I lay off the help and figure to work the store myself. That just doesn't happen like its supposed to.
Spring/Summer help returns March 3rd, yeah!

Jeff Prendergast · Post by **Jeff Prendergast** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 4:44 pm

How's the course right now? Heading there for the first time tomorrow, are all 18 holes playable?

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:26 pm

Hole 14,most of 15,all of 16 and most of 17 are scuba holes. We played the old hole 4 and a few safari holes the other day to make them up. Good luck, bring extra socks. What time were you going?

Jack Gabby · Post by **Jack Gabby** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:35 pm

plus, on hole 9, you have to carry the water and aim for the stick. No basket there yet.

Jeff Emilyta · Post by **Jeff Emilyta** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:56 pm

lost a blue Monster in the water on 17 fairway on Sunday, has the water receded at all? will be an easy find once it does...

Jeff Prendergast · Post by **Jeff Prendergast** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:06 am

leaving worcester around 2:30-3. I've actually tried to get to W.Thompson a few times but it seems like Buff has a freakin' tractor beam that sucks me in.

Matt Heenan · Post by **Matt Heenan** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:10 am

I may be down wit you Mr. P and double E. Have to find out if I'm doing BLAND today first

Jeff Prendergast · Post by **Jeff Prendergast** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:29 am

any more holes back in play?

Greg Aucoin · Post by **Greg Aucoin** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 12:15 am

Course looked much better today...14 and 16 back in play. Only bummer is missing basket still on hole 9 after washout, guessing that will take some time. Hopefully it's a mostly dry week and great weather for the tourney Saturday!!

Steven Dakai · Post by **Steven Dakai** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 10:16 am

The basket was ordered, and may possibly be in. I am trying to find out that info right now. If it is in, and the ground is thawed we might get it in this week. Pray for a dry week, with plenty of sunshine.

Here is the link to the water level at WTL.

Alright! New basket is clutch. Cool link as well Steve.

Bear Dunn · Post by **Bear Dunn** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:30 am

water level was normal on saturday. At least what I'm used to seeing. I hope the basket on 9 will be in the ground for saturday, but we can always just use a temp basket. Everything else is playable... It might be good to clear some of the wood that dirfted up on some fairways. Is anyone planning on doing this?

I'll probably head to the course a couple times this week and will see what I can do.

Steve Solbo · Post by **Steve Solbo** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:49 pm

first time gonna be saturday. i am pumped.

Fred Doot · Post by **Fred Doot** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 4:28 pm

First time Saturday as well.

I found this description of the course, but I don't know if it's old info or correct. Please advise.

1 -- 201 Wooded uphill dogleg right, pin on hilltop
2 -- 228 Straight, tight downhill with gnarly rough on both sides.
3 – 253 Tight throw through a window to clearing...leftys can throw huge sky hyzer here.
4 -- 292 Nice downhill throw across creek into wooded green
5 – 430 Open hole over pond with basket next to creek
6 – 356 Open dogleg right to basket protected behind trees
7 – 397 Open downhill throw to a pin between giant deciduous trees.
8 – 236 Short open hole to basket on a hill “fast green”
9 – 650 Gonzo uphill par 4 with the dam and OB rocks lining the entire right-hand side
10 – 290 Open throw to protected basket between woods and giant tree
11 - 250 Gentle turnover (dogleg right) with enough guard trees to make it interesting.
12 - 221 Short “pooch” downhill throw to a pin sitting up on a mound...with lake only a few feet behind it...splash!
13 - 565 Long par 4 hole that is mostly open except for gnarly rough on the left.
14 – 484 Open, uphill crush with basket behind cart.
15 – 505 Long downhill shot with drop-off behind basket.
16 - 419 Oh my, oh my, oh my! The peninsula hole. destined to become a NE legend!
17 - 433 Well guarded 'S' back into corner of field. Drive must negotiate a gate between large trees.
18 - 217 Nice short dogleg right to close with a deuce and bring you back to where you started.

Looks like 5, 12 and 16 are the water holes, correct? How far to carry over the pond on hole 5? Is it recommended to bring expendable plastic to this course?

Very psyched..
