FDR Park-Final Tee pads! Sponsors and volunteers needed

Bill Newman · Post by **Bill Newman** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 8:38 am

The new park manager, Brian K, is on board to get in the final 7 rubber fly pads on the tees of holes 3-9. We have scheduled a volunteer work day for Sunday November 1. The plan is to warm up on hole 9 which is easy to get materials to. Then try to get 2-3 pads done on a few following work days. Hopefully being able to complete the job by the time the ground freezes this winter.

So- we are going to need volunteers, willing to help dig some tees out, carry some materials, perhaps redesign hole 6, get the materails down and flat and then get the pads in place.

We also need a few generous folks willing to donate some $ for materials. $100 sponsors will recieve recognition on a tee sign, etc and recieve a custom disc by the time of the Ice Bowls. Donations of any amount would be great, we need about $400.....more info soon

Whit C and Pat S, tee makers supreme from Cranbury park are going to make it for the work day........nice..... thanks guys!

Can You lend a hand?? An hour or two of work will go a long way towards finishing the tees at FDR

Can you sponsor some of the materials?? a $50 or $100 sponsorship would really help out, and would get your name on a tee sign and a nice Karma deposit in your D G bank account

When we're done let's take a quick trip over to kisco and install 18 fly pads, rearrange the course and put in 18 new baskets. :wink:

From Adam G:

"Instead of me just $50. Tim Smith and I will go in for $100 representing Waveny"

Thank you very much! Go Waveny park!
