And the answer to the very next question is Stable-Icers (http://www.llbean.com/products/mens/23338/images/23338.jpg)! There are cheaper sources than LL Bean but I found theirs first.

*****************************

Ice cleats are great!! I wore through several pairs of Stabilicers before I found a cheaper and more effective way to create ice cleats.

Stabilicers are sturdy strap-on soles that have sheet metal screws imbedded in them. If you take a pair of boots with thick, hard rubber soles you can screw 1/2 inch sheet metals screws directly into them. With a power drill this can be done in about 5 minutes at a cost of a few bucks.

The screws will wear down or fall out of Stabilicers or homemade boots so buy a supply of them replace the screws as needed.

I find that I clearly prefer the homemade boots. The Stabilicers use a stap-on webbing that looks like high tech sandals. It is a pain to get them on just right (they need to be very tightly stapped on) and at times they need to be adjusted when they come loose or a stick or debris gets caught in the webbing. The boots are good to go once you put them on, are lighter and need no adjustments.

With fresh ice cleats (new screws) you can play disc golf on a frozen lake or on iced-over tee pads. For those of us who drive predominately forehand, our form looks similar to a baseball pitcher throwing a sidearm or submarine pitch. If our plant foot slips out we do the face plant. In slippery conditions, the only way I avoid face planting is by wearing ice cleats. I played for years before finding effective ice cleats and regularly found myself lying in the snow and asking my group if they saw where my drive went. At least I learned to fall properly ( on the way down start rolling and you will lose a lot less skin)

Mark Ellis using power tools? Thought I'd heard of everything....

As long as it lasts, the tee pads on the Original at Hudson Mills are clear and in great shape, both front and back. It was a team effort to get them clear and I can't remember everyone's name, or I'd start listing folks.

With some warmer weather expected this week, the snow-pack should be in great shape by next weekend for some ice-aided skippers and the occasional mongo Norelco. Woo Hoo!

[wander]

And thanks to whoever turned in the disc I didn't even know I'd left on the course...

The Park Lady called and its waiting for me at the front desk.

Score another one for players who turn in found discs.

Still playing in sandal down here in LIVE OAK Texas was a chilly 79 degree :o:D

[dischick]

70 and sunny gets old!

[cbdiscpimp]

70 and sunny gets old!



I dont know what your smoking but 70 and sunny could NEVER get old.

Snow is cool but only if you can travel to it and then leave it behind. Driving in the snow and shoveling it SUCKS and i would LOVE to never see it again unless i went on a trip to where the snow was.

[wander]

Odd weather we're having.

I was looking forward to taping some wild winter golf on a nice crusty snowpack, but its all gone now...

Time to put the rollers back in the bag, perhaps.

[wheresdave]

Odd weather is right it's a chilly 62 here at Live Oak Texas burrrr :D

[romine]

Odd weather we're having.




The contest has been delayed due to 55 degrees and heavy downpours.

[dischick]

im sure the contest will be revived......16 for the high tomorrow. im sure it will snow soon too.

the teepads looked great at kensington! good job mike kerry and kirk haggadone for shoveling.

[wander]

Snowing again, just when we finally got the last batch all melted.

My kids are pulling for a snow day tomorrow...

Last time they forcast "around an inch" we got six.

[dischick]

Sunshine this morning!

Yesterday was the GLOOMIEST day I can remember. Felt like early morning even at 10 am in the pouring rain.

Werent you just complaining the other day about how 70 and sunny everyday is boring??? :confused:

Stop flip flopping. Who do you think you are???? JOHN KERRY!!!!!!!!!

[dischick]

well i am sorry if that sounded like a complaint.....cuz it wasnt.....i love it.....i especially love going from tank top.. to scarves and mittens in a half of day!
70 and sunny is boring!

[romine]

Contest resumed. I would have been shoveling today if I wasn't snowed-in out in Northville.

[dischick]

insane amount of snow.

[wander]

As of yesterday noon, Damon and two guys I'd never met before (Nate and Joe) were heading out to play the Original and shovel as they went.

Being that it was mid-storm, I couldn't see shoveling just yet and ended up playing the Monster shorts, off to the side mostly.

Great snow condition and not a boot print anywhere in sight.

Oh yea, they were all clean when we got through with them, but that was in the middle of a blizzard. The extras are not playable anymore, but every other pad is looking good today. So go enjoy our hard work and play one. And let me say I think JR is losing the contest

[dischick]

good job stahlin...... i think you are in the lead!

[romine]

Ive cleared 63, 12x4 foot pads this winter with a average of 5.3 inches of snow on each. Thats 16027.2 cubic feet of snow. If anyone can top that they win. The traveling trophy/snow shovel, can be picked up Sunday at the Chills at the Mills.

Extras on Monster or Original course?

alright Josh, it's either "nice try but you're busted for embellishment of facts" or back to math school for you -- that sounded pretty high to me so i did the math and my computation puts you at 1335.6 cu. ft.

[dischick]

sorry romine.......you are the weakest link.

[cbdiscpimp]

sorry romine.......you are the weakest link.



GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!

You cant say "You are the weakest link" Without adding the GOODBYE at the end :D

You guys are great thanks for shoveling the pads.

But really you think one season of shoveling qualifies you for something? I was shoveling those pads before any of you had ever picked up a disc :o

Just bustin your b*lls :D

I guess the trophy should be taken away from Josh for his false calculations next time use a calculator! :D

j/k :)

[dischick]

johnny V should get some votes..... he's been doin it for years.

[romine]

**** faulty calculators!!!

[romine]

Honestly though, thank you to all for anything you have done to make disc golf more enjoyable for all. Looking forward to summer, see you all then and some of the more hardcore a little sooner.

It must of been that calculator that u got in a cracker jack box :o

But thankyou for shoveling the Tee Pads

[dischick]

yes josh..... we all thank you for the hard work that you have put in......and i personally thank you from the bottom of my heart! ;)

It's not that he calculated it all that wrong, he only solved for cubic inches. He forgot to divide by 12 for cubic feet.

[dischick]

but i dotn think it includes the amount in "inches fell".

if you go shovel all 49 tees out there with 2 inches having fallen, that is worth nothing than a pat on the back as oppossed to the the person who went and shoveled 49 tees, after 12 inches fell, who deserves a big gold star, and just maybe a trophy. that is unless, the 2inch person went and cleared off 2inches, 6 times.

Surface area and volume are not very accurate measurements with snow. Who's shoveled the most weight of snow?

Also, congrats to Joe Levell for melting snow with his blistering 44 from Reds, 18 holes.He improved his first round score by 7 strokes and won ADV chills at the mills.

[dischick]

who won pro?

[brookep]

Al
So where were you , pimp and Romine?

Sissys :p

[romine]

Yeah, yeah. I know. It was a perfect day and I slept in. Oh well, next time Mr. Plantz.

Daredevil :p

[dischick]

i went and played an AWSOME private course in imlay city.

[brookep]

Are you guys warming up your shovels? Snows a comin :D :D

[wander]

Brooke, you must be an amateur.

Pro shovellers chill their shovels, so the snow doesn't stick...

I was just getting ready for some nice crusty snow and those wacky winter skip shots. That will have to wait, I suppose.

Good thing Steve left his knife at home.

[cbdiscpimp]

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was freakin HILLARIOUS!!!!!!!

[romine]

Yeah but it's a **** shame he left his pillow at home!

Details, please. Enquiring minds want to know.

[cbdiscpimp]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish i had a brought my freakin pillow AND a freakin blanket :D:D:D

I bet you 100 to 1 odds that the owner of this truck knows me :D:D LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **** Blue Ford Pickups..........They all look the same

[Tbranch]

Don't feel bad.
Some friends and I snuk in one night for some glow golf on the original course and one of them got so plastered he slept on hole-A's fairway all night long.

Lol

[romine]

Details, please. Enquiring minds want to know.



Many hours of drinking, golf at Hudson Mills minus Steve who decided to take a nap by Scott Slaters truck in the parking lot....

2 hours later

...woke up by park ranger, questioned about his sleeping location.

Park Ranger (confused)- "Excuse me son, why are you sleeping on the concrete?"

Steve (still drunk) - "I waaaas tiiiyerd, so I took a nap by my frienjjjs truck."

Park Ranger (now suspicious) - "I don't think this is your friends truck" as he looks over steve's shoulder at the real owner.

Steve (still asleep) - "I'll bet you 100 to 1 odds I know who owns this truck" as he finally looks at it, "wait a minute this isn't slaters truck."

Pretty much what happened.

LMFAO, thats funny, but the real question is, did he pay him the 100 bucks for losing the bet??

[cbdiscpimp]

The cop wouldnt take my bet :mad: Lucky for me :D

[wander]

Doh!

Thanks for the spew, Josh.

I've been wondering if that Pimp dude was as intolerable in real life as he seems on this message board. Appears so! Nonetheless, folks continue to vouch for him, so there must be some hunanity in there somewhere, pickled perhaps.

BTW, sounds like I'll have a Canon GL2 to work with soon. Maybe it can travel with you from time to time to capture some far away golf?

Joe

[dischick]

i woke up too late to be the first one out there.
hopefully it all melts within the next couple of days.

[Moderator005]

How much snow did you guys get up there?

[cbdiscpimp]

a few freakin inches and its supposed to be 60 again by the end of the week. Like the saying goes "If you dont like the weather in Michigan just wait 15 minutes"

God i cant wait to just play regular summer golf!!!!!!!

I was playing in shorts and sandals just a few days ago :mad:

[j_d]

I looked out the window yesterday and actually saw snow had collected on the hood of a car after a little blizzard passed through. Today, more snow fell. Unbelievable!!

[DSproAVIAR]

THATS RIGHT BIATCHES!
WARM UP YO SHOVELS CUZ WE GOT SNOW!!!!!!

[scottcwhite]

I'm still in denial... What is this "snow" you speak of?

[paerley]

I'm still in denial... What is this "snow" you speak of?



My current excuse for why I can't putt.

[DSproAVIAR]

Hudson Mills Original Shorts are clear. I didn't do it, but thanks to whoever did.

[wander]

That would be the Sunday 9 am geezer patrol. A 3.5 hr sixsome. Had to get to them before a bunch of folks trampled them down. We didn't have it together enough to haul salt, so a few of the darker holes are pretty slick, I imagine. Found eventually that it was easy enough to clear the turf next to the tee, which was safer than the iced pad. Under the snow, nothing's frozen.

Oh for a few more weeks of roller weather, please.

DS, not to let the cat out of the bag, but you're the Throw of the Show in the next episode, finishing up in a couple of weeks.

Joe

[brookep]

Anybody going to the Mills today?

[wander]

Not today, but maybe by the end of the week if I get productive.
It would be nice to get two rounds out of one shovelling, if it doesn't snow again this week.

Joe

[DSproAVIAR]

Sweet. What # episode will that be? And yes the pads are a little slick on some shaded holes, but it's still lots of fun. Nice basket Brooke.

[scottcwhite]

How deep is the snow out there right now? Easy to lose a disc? or is the snowpack hard enough now where it will stay on top?

[DSproAVIAR]

The snow's really not deep enough to lose a disc yet. You could lose a disc if it was white with a bad kick.

[wander]

That'll be show # 9, Dman.

Looks like we'll get a few inches tonight, maybe a bunch more even.

Ugh.

[DSproAVIAR]

Did anyone lose a Buzzz on hole 14 original Tuesday or Wednesday? Tell me what color/weight and Ill get it to you. Or just guess the disc color, stamp color and weight and you win a buzzz!

[junnila]

Red 176, black stamp (hopefully a first run) :D

[DSproAVIAR]

Brad, no. One guess per user, anyone can guess. Im serious, Ill pay shipping.

[kwilliamson]

blue, 177, Flying saucer stamp

[DSproAVIAR]

You only have to guess the disc color, stamp color and weight. Close but no KW.

[my_hero]

You only have to guess the disc color, stamp color and weight. Close but no KW.



blue, 177, gold DGLO

[DSproAVIAR]

My Hero-Sorry, no.

[circlek13783]

Orange, 176, Purple BuZZ bar stamp.
OR
Colonel Mustard with the Candlestick in the Library :D

[jonnydobos]

blue, 176, white stamp

[wheresdave]

I found a BUZZ to but that was after slamming a 12 pack :Dblue 178 black stamp :D

[DSproAVIAR]

Many close guesses, not yet tho.

[DSproAVIAR]

Also, the short original pads are shoveled well, but no salt.

[wander]

Since the Thursday night snow? I hear there is more snow due soon, but we've got to stay on top of these pads or we'll be toast for the rest of winter.

Karnac says: Orange, stock stamp. 172g.

Joe

It was a crystal bluish Buzz and was 176 and had that a3 type stamp, when can I pick it up ?
Did you find any Stingrays ? They were mine.

[DSproAVIAR]

Since the Thursday night snow? I hear there is more snow due soon, but we've got to stay on top of these pads or we'll be toast for the rest of winter.



Yes., The pads are clear right now.

And noone has it yet. But most people are soo close.

[DSproAVIAR]

and the original longs are pretty clear now.

[scottcwhite]

Looks like 38 degrees this coming Saturday :D:D

Well, maybe if you told me they were delicious Triscuit crackers I could have enjoyed them with you.

delicious = Blue
Triscuit = Silver Stamp
crackers = 178 g Buzz.

[DSproAVIAR]

Nice delivery. So close, but no match.

[dischick]

orange
(slightly)worn off silver stamp
170ish
(my name might not be on it, obviously)

you know its mine. i am very upset about loosing my preciouse buzzzzz..............

[wander]

More trouble today and tomorrow.

Looks like Friday shovellage.

It would be nice to play a round without dragging the shovel along.

Winter's coming in a week or so, yipee.

Joe

[DSproAVIAR]

The original short teepads are pristine and salted.

[j_d]

good thing for global warming or this December would really suck!

[DSproAVIAR]

Teepads for original shorts are shoveled and look very nice. OG longs are shoveled and very playable. NOW PLAY!!!

[scottcwhite]

Has a date been picked yet for Chills at the Mills 2006? I do not see anything posted (http://www.a3disc.org/). I think it could be less than a month away based on previous (http://www.a3disc.org/admin/history.htm) years.

[wbrady]

Chills at the Mills is Sunday January 29, 2006. More information can be found at a3disc.org

[m_conners]

Is this a Steve "pimpin" Mills sponsored event? :p :p

[DSproAVIAR]

Wow I'm sure glad it is in the 70's here. :D



Wow I'm sure glad I don't have to carry my bag when I play. I've got a sled.

Merry Xmas

Yeah but then you have to put on your snow shoes and coat. :D

[brookep]

Blues are shoveled 24. Most of the reds as well.

[DSproAVIAR]

Thanks!!

[wander]

Winter is back.

Yellows 1-18 are clear as of Sunday am. Another group was heading out on the Original and I think they scrounged up a shovel as well, so those are probably clean.

Didn't do the Letter holes. Stopped by hole A for a peaceful sit. Couldn't see down the fairway at all, with all the trees snow covered and low. Even where the fairway widens, it must have been about six feet wide. Woo Hoo.

Nice snow, though. No lost plastic among five guys.

[DSproAVIAR]

You didn't see anyone else playing the monster extras today? Another group did and one of them has a roc of mine. Anybody? White Roc? On Hole F?

Thanks for the shovel job Joe. The pads are very clean.

[wander]

Never saw anyone else except the other 9 am group as they were heading out.

Those monster alphabets must have been a hoot. Talk about your skinny fairways. A good day to learn an overhand.

I'm tired of every Sunday being pitiful weather (at least the last two in a row...). Maybe it will get cold and we'll get a chance to play golf on some crusty snow. Norelcogolf.

Joe

[scottcwhite]

I think it's about time to bring this thread back to life... I'll see you all out at dubs saturday :D

[dischick]

you beat me to it... i was tryin to find this thread earlier and couldnt. good job Scott!
ill be resuming the contest on the west side.

[DSproAVIAR]

I hate cursive and I hate all of you. I'm never coming back to Hudson Mills.

[dischick]

yeah right- you are probably there right now

[jHarr]

at least in michigan you can usually find your car after it snows...
nice ice storm today- careful out there folks

[tommyb]

I wish I could have gotten a picture of joe today, knee high in freezing water on hole 12 with snow flying, to retrieve his disc. How did your toes feel when you got home joe? :D

[janttila]

Tee pads are due on the Monster course. Both longs and shorts are pretty slick. Props to Mountz, Ainsley and ???? for taking care of the original cousre today. I think these gents are the first to do some tee pad work. Nice job guys :cool:

[tommyb]

Im heading out to do blacks right now

[DSproAVIAR]

HEY BRING SOME SALT YO!!

[jHarr]

grand woods is shoveled, scraped and de-iced...
a couple stubborn ones on the back nine we left heavy salt- got short on time

beauty day with the sun & no wind but never saw a soul
sadly the ice wouldn't support bids to retrieve a sidewinder and cfrWraith on 6 :mad:

[scottcwhite]

Report from the field, courtesy of John Davis:

"I shoveled all the long tees and some of the short ones on the Monster course. If I remember correctly, I shoveled long and short on 1-12, and just long on A-E and 14-18. There was a big bush that fell on the long tee for D, but I moved it."

[abee1010]

John Davis is the MAN!!

[DSproAVIAR]

Agreed! THanks JOHN! Glad to have another enthusiastic disc golfer join the Hudson Mills crew.

[z Vaughn z]

Tee pad report. John, Greg, Ryan, and Myself shoveled the Red tees. It started to get colder from about hole 12 on, so we only did the fronts of the remaining pads. We may have made them worse as the snow could make them slick and icey....but its the thought that counts...nothing that a little salt couldn't solve.

[tommyb]

Ryan Macdonald and myself shoveled and salted all 24 yellow tees on the monster course, so take advantage of these pads before it snows again, s#%t its snowing right now :(

[scottcwhite]

So how are the pads looking now at the Mills?

If you are going out there to play and you are thinking "what should I shovel?", please shovel the monster longs so they can be used for dubs on Saturday.

[janttila]

The Jingles group shoveled almost all of the shorts on Original Sunday morning excluding B,C & D. Monster longs may need some deicing after this day time melt, night time freeze weather.

[tommyb]

Man dubs on original shorts 24, what would the hot score be?

[scottcwhite]

Probably about a -18 or so depending on the weather.

I also hear that the monster short pads are cleared.

[tommyb]

I vote fur yellers :)

[scottcwhite]

what are you voting for? this is the snow shoveling thread.

[z Vaughn z]

I vote for the purple pads. Basket to long teepad on the Original. You hole out by having all of the disc on the teepad.

[z Vaughn z]

Or maybe...Blue Pad?

http://www.sportdiscs.com/i/Acc/acc_pullover_blue_lg.jpg

[scottcwhite]

Or maybe...Blue Pad?



HAHA!!
best. post. ever.

[tommyb]

Thats awsome :D:D:D

[janttila]

I second the blue Pad :D

[abee1010]

I am hoping to make it back to dubs this weekend, it has been a few weeks. So far I'm crossing my fingers for not working. Lets play black tees to blues baskets...

[ryan_macdonald]

adam carney and I shoveled all 24 short tee pads on the o.g. this afternoon after the snow we got on saturday night enjoy them while im wishing i could play them in indianapolis :D

[wander]

The jingles gang cleaned the Yellow Monster tees, not including the alphabets. Pretty soggy out there this morning.

[Jeff_LaG]

Looks like they caught the guy (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070304/ap_on_re_us/missing_woman_40) who dumped his wife's body parts at Stony Creek Metropark, hopefully not on the disc golf course.

[DSproAVIAR]

Gross. Tbut tell your joke.

Update: The teepads are clear in Virginia. That's because it was 60 on Saturday.

[tommyb]

Kinda changes the meaning of "I got an eye on my disc" :p

[DSproAVIAR]

badump-chhhhh

[scottcwhite]

I lost my disc... underneath a FOOT of snow.

[jHarr]

give a shout if you need a HAND...

[NewDude]

Hmmmmm... which disc should I throw on this hole? Maybe the REAPER!

[Roosta]

HEADS up!

btw the gwoods teepads are bare and dry (until the latest snowstorm gets here...), they were the only good footing in the candycoated slickice park yesterday...

but we're ahead of it and rest assured we'll stay up on it whatever mom nature decides to do to us.....

[jHarr]

OMG think mom nature just PWN3D me, LOL!!!

[z Vaughn z]

Get the snow shovels ready, get your winter discs in your bag. Time for snow golf!

[romine]

My shovel broke, and the boots are not tall enough. Im stuck on hole D on the monster course. I don't think my trail mix will hold me till spring. SEND HELP!!!!!

[wander]

I stashed a spare shovel near the Am tee pad on #1 Original, for anyone who gets to the park and needs a shovel.

Joe

[TrevorThorp]

Joe, Kim and I just finished a round at Gwoods. The pads are now clean from the last blast.

[jHarr]

cleanest teepads in the state!!!

[brookep]

24 reds as good as I could get them. :cool:
The shovel needs help ;)

[jHarr]

grandwoods shoveled n salted sat- thanks fellas!
mostly clear & dry yesterday 12/30

[wander]

Doh!

Nothing like a foot of snow to make a mess of nice tee pads. Grab your shovels, folks.

Joe

[jHarr]

chilly & damien were the shovel crew at gWoods this a.m....
I just played a few- teepads were cleanin up nicely but the finding was a lil tough...

Played Brewer yesterday with some of the local yokals over there. Those gents take some pride in their tee pads. They had 18 pads cleared by 10am. Impressive! How are the pads at the Mills? I'm thinkin about playin this afternoon.

[Ken4]

ALL 48 tee pads were solid ice on Sat. unless someone salted, i dont think that has changed.

[janttila]

That ice is going to bee difficult to get rid of if we can't salt those pads. Can anyone confirm the parks no salt rule?

[wander]

Hi, Joe -

The Park has an alternate melter supply where they keep the skis. They will usually give some to folks who are cleaning up the pads. I suggest a five gallon bucket and a plastic sled.

I think the snow dump we got might just help with melting the ice that had accumulated. Sometimes there's enough heat captured under the snow to do the job. Maybe not, though.

With the couple we got last night, there's been well over a foot at da Mills.

Time for some warm weather to ice things up on top. Woo Hoo!

Snowller time!

Joe

[janttila]

Hopefully there is a functional shovel at the course and some de-icer in the activity center. I'm headin' out to the course shortly. Wish me luck and I'll post if I can't make it off the course....

[wander]

I saw the shovel I'd left at #1 O. totally trashed near the tee to 18 a couple of weeks later. (No worries about that next year! Once the CC fees kick in, we'll all be better off in that respect.) That unit wasn't built for this snow, either. Take a good one with you. I hear there's warmer weather coming so I'm looking for some crusty snow golf by next w/e when I can get out.

Best of luck out there.

Joe

[janttila]

Snow was heavy and deap this afternoon. I shoveled for about an hour and a half. Only got 5 short pads finished. It's not that easy to find discs at times, spent a little time looking. It'd bee ideal to have a team of guys to tackle all the pads.

Joe, you were right about the ice under the pads, it's all gone.

Also, the park has several shovels at the activity center to use on the pads. They have some de-icer too but Kim couldn't find where the maintanence gents had put it. Good luck to the next person to make an attempt to clear pads. And if anyone finds my yellow beast on hole 1 or my buzzz-d, grab it. Thanks in advance and stay warm.

[wander]

That's not a good pad-to-time ratio there, sir. That sort of situation calls for a large crew. Heavy snow, indeed. Defeated my neighbor's snow blower. A round even w/o shoveling in snow that deep is tough enough. Makes my legs ache to think of it. But then again I'm not of Yooper extraction. Natural shovelers up there, I hear.

Late.

Joe

[scottcwhite]

How are the pads at Grand Woods looking these days??

[TrevorThorp]

Joe, the Standish Boys and myself cleaned the pads Thursday. With Fridays sun and hopefully no casuals traking snow on them, they should be golden for the tourney Saturday.

[janttila]

John Davis, Garret (new gentleman to the game) & myself cleared all 24 shorts on the OG this afternoon. A lot of work but even more fun! The pads should bee great for dubz in the mornin' for the guys not heading to Lansing.
I'm currently enjoying a beer, a seat & a sub @ the Bline. Hope everyones afternoon was as good as mine. PEACE

[wander]

jingle jangle jingle

[scottcwhite]

36 pads on the Monster were cleared by myself and Jantilla yesterday. Beginning of the round it was snow over ice, by the end of the round it was snow over slush. Hard work, but the B-Line pizza and beer did help a little after the round. Looks like warm weather for the week, so Cali Dreaming should be snow free!

Joe I think you are leading the points series for pad clearing.

[tacimala]

Big props to Trevor for the pads up at Grand Woods. I didn't have to use my towel for a single drive and I didn't slip at all off the tee!

[wander]

Feels like March outside today. Nice!

Great work yesterday, Es and Jay. Its hard to find a wetter condition, considering it wasn't raining. I was soaked in the foot dept. even wearing goretex sox, time for some new ones I guess.

The ponds at the Mills are looking juicy.

We found a John Davis disc during jingles. I think it'll be passed on to Daemon one day when its remembered. A couple unlabeled ones out there as well. #1 and #11 were the tough holes...we always forget to send a spotter on one until its too late.

I'm hoping to do some taping during the ice bowls if the weather cooperates. Just finished a show and it will be nice to do something other than edit for a while.

Joe

[NewDude]

Thanks for grabbing my disc. Was it a red FLX Surge?

[wander]

I didn't grab it myself, it was another guy in the group. I think it was yellow but besides your name, I don't remember for sure. We found it on either 1 or 11, the two holes where we found lost discs.

Joe

[NewDude]

Are you coming out to the Cali Dreamin tourney on Saturday? If so, I can pick it up then.
Thanks.

[janttila]

Who is on this year's leader board?

[TrevorThorp]

Pulled the shovel out of the closet the other day. It started warming up by the time I left for the course, so I left it at home.

[TrevorThorp]

Did the first shoveling of Grand Woods today. Myself and Dave Munroe with help on the last 8 from Bobby.

[ChrisWoj]

Got the original longs today. But there was enough snow coming down, that it could be undone by tomorrow.

[TrevorThorp]

Pads were cleared again last night during Glow League.

[wander]

Anyone have a report on the tee situation at Hudson Mills? Looking forward to getting out this w/e.

Joe

[TrevorThorp]

Pads were cleared Tuesday night at Grand Woods with the help of the people that showed up for glow league. Joe Harr, Dave Munroe and Craig Downing. 6 to 8 inches on some of the tees on the back half of the course.

[TrevorThorp]

A shout out to Mark Kruse, and his group, for shoveling the pads in front of my group at Rolling Hills last weekend.

[janttila]

There's some good competition out there shoveling this year...good to see!

[savard1120]

your a liar and a thief janttilla im coming to steal your wallett

[janttila]

Ingce, your [censored] is WIZEAK!

[savard1120]

your spelling if offensive to everyone joe

[TrevorThorp]

Tee pads were cleared at the Woods yesterday and today.

[wander]

Pads at the Mills stink. I have no idea about the monster, but doubt there's been any clearing over there.

The blue tees range from ok to really bad. Reds range from bad to where's the tee pad? Unless it warms up and some work gets done when the timing is right, we'll be in for tough golfing on the Original this year...

"Cleared" the most recent snow off the reds today, pretty grizzly layer of ice already there. A pair of players ahead of us today cleared some of the blues, and later in the round they'd stopped trying so we did a bit of scraping. Ugh.

The Brookemeister takes home towel in today's Jingle action, spending the last few holes in New Jersey while the hotel crowd was full of good cheer and bonus a.m. hooch.

Joe

[brookep]

Joe- We can just play 12 and 13 over and over again in a never ending loop :D

[wander]

I almost forgot! My one decent shot of the day. I'm bad enough in good weather...

[Roosta]

pads at cass are cleared by myself and ignce.

[jHarr]

headed out to grandwoods now
must be close to a foot so far here in holt (S lansing)...


edit: gWoods all cleared as of 12/19, man we got big teepads....

[dsmtuner01]

well joe and and i went out yesterday and shoveled and salted the short course. so 1-4 and 14-18 are clear!

2 bags full of discs, 1 shovel, 1 container of salt, and a sled. FTW!!!!!!!

[janttila]

I cleared my mother's driveway. No tee pads though.

[dsmtuner01]

antillia, come shovel my driveway! when your done we can go play a round. hahahhahaha

[ChrisWoj]

Monster shorts and Original longs shoveled, the heat today should clear what remained :P

[TrevorThorp]

Last shoveling of 08' at Grand Woods... Solo. Four inches of nice light snow except for 10 and 11. Ten is almost under water, nice and slushy snow, and eleven is covered in ice. Too thick to break with a metal rod even.

[Roosta]

tee pads at albion are clear thanks to everyone on the card but me(shovel of shame and all)

[ChrisWoj]

In all reality, Dave Feldberg Jr. cleared EVERY teepad. Although not really a hard worker, he is pretty shameful.

[Roosta]

woj you have one eye, and i didnt touch the shovel, ignce cleared(or at least made a lackluster effort too) the majority of the pads

[TrevorThorp]

With the help of some salt, we managed to get the inch of ice off of 10 and 11 at the Woods today. The pads will be great for the Ice Burrrg Open.

[wander]

As of early this afternoon, the reds at Hudson Mills were "clear." We skipped the alphabets and 4 and 5, so mostly clear I guess is more accurate. About 9" of fresh snow. Someone had done them sometime during the snow, so we only had to clear about half. The blues were abused during the storm and were beyond the limits of my shovel.

The pads we cleared still need a dose of salt if someone gets the chance. Of course it will snow again soon, but they may be salvageable over time.

Only one lost disc among our 6-some. Mighty soft snow, tough to spot. Later groups had better send spotters since anything in the footprints just disappears...

At least the Man wasn't bugging us this week.
