Cleaned off all 18 pads as of 500PM so they are bare dirt still !!!. Tomorrow AM I will clean them again when I play a round. Anyone up for a round call me 978-790-3282.

As of 1000 this morning the tee pads are clear of snow and ice. A little more sun today or tomorrow and they will be bare, dry dirt again. Played 10 holes with Guy, 3-4" powdery snow and no problems with footing on the pads.

Wow, I didn't know there were pads at Flatrock!!

nice work Sully.

Paul Sullivan · Post by **Paul Sullivan** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 7:41 am

You ball buster .........Every course has tee pads some better than others however, very few are not covered in snow and ice right now!

Hopefully, we can lure some more people out to Flatrock on Friday AM, as we usually do some minor course maintenance and then play a round or two on Fridays. Come on out and join the fun.

You Team TullyRock guys might wanna consider this. Could be huge for Flatrock if one of you hits. Prime is one of four only places to get the disc I believe.

Actually, Mike, if you just drop off the check to Helen or Sean, we'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks, buddy!!!

What happened to the thread about basket donations and memberships? I can't find the discussion anywhere.

Jim Bobka · Post by **Jim Bobka** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 2:42 pm

I believe that talk is designated only within the confines of the 'clubhouse'.

Sean Curcio · Post by **Sean Curcio** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 12:47 pm

The course is playing awesome... The four NEW baskets make a HUGE difference. I only got to play 9 this morning but I'm going back out this afternoon to throw at them all. Anyone want to join me?

Played Flatrock for the first time yesterday, it is an awesome Course!!! I wish I had made the trip out there years ago, I can't wait to go back! Sean and Helen are great people, they didn't even throw me off their property when my approach on 14 went right into the barn.....oops, sorry about that....! Winds were a bit high yesterday and I definitely left some shots out there. Will be back real soon.

Titan Bariloni · Post by **Titan Bariloni** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:04 am

That was a great read. I couldn't have described Flatrock better myself if I tried and I've been playing it for several years. Thanks for the post, Jay. Hope Franchi sees this.

Rob Walker · Post by **Rob Walker** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 6:04 pm

Wow, that was quite the amazing review. Makes me wish I was at Flatrock instead of working. Gotta love the pictures. It is easy to get over-accustomed to a course you play regularly and it is nice to hear how someone seeing it for the first time appreciates it.

Titan Bariloni · Post by **Titan Bariloni** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 3:04 pm

yeah great find Jay...cool pic of the kids in tree bike

Dave Jackson · Post by **Dave Jackson** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 3:06 pm

I played flatrock wednesday with Mike D and Paul Sullivan for the first time ever.
I knew it would be cool, knowing how Franchi is, but it kinda blew me away. The course, the artwork. the stonework and the whole property was just awesome. I really liked the course, tight and tough and the atmosphere was second to none, imho.
Way to go Sean, that course was sooooooo cool. Loved it :wink:

Sean Franchi · Post by **Sean Franchi** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 11:10 am

Flatrock par is now 59. the order of holes will be changing soon. basically after playing one and walking down the street when you go in at the gate dip left instead of right. There is a tee area marked by 2 blue paint slashes on the new rock wall. you'll see the fairway. what you are doing is playing to old 4's basket from there. next you go to old 5,6,7 then to old 2 and old 3 (the hanger) is the last hole you play before going back up the street. new tee signs and score cards coming soon, our goal is to have this done by the doubles finals in April 2012

Jim Bobka · Post by **Jim Bobka** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 7:05 am

Can't wait to destroy the new par! (or bow down to it....)

Weren't we all thinking, "I wish Flatrock wasn't so damn easy". So (old) hole 4 got harder, but surprisingly, Sean now has it as a par 4. What can possibly go wrong?

"Snowman" comes to mind.
