[seewhere]

sorry cant use my truck you will get my carpet dirty

[edman]

no worries, don't need it
Golf today, whiskey skins? It's gona take some Ol Grand Dad to forget about this week.

[Lala]

O.K. enogh fun - back to course work. The boxes do look good, but we still need to back fill. The dirt will keep shrinking & ya'll with long run ups will continue to be hosed if we don't fix them. It's not pizz hot right now & I know that makes us all want to golf, but it will be soon, so let's get this finished up this weekend. It only takes a shovle & a broom to make this happen. Thanx for steppin up and stopping the crickets. Edman no work for you today - I see skins in your future. Need a designated driver? I'll stick with beer, you hit the whiskey.

[edman]

I do need a designated driver, I'll be Cadillac'ing.
Harrell $5, I'll give you 3 strokes on the winter course?

[MVP]

Dale and I will be there from 3:30 on....winter course?!!

[gordonmk]

If any of y'all are free on Sunday, please come on down to Pease. Waterloo is having a work day starting at 9:00 am.

Thanks!

[seewhere]

are ya'll ladies skeered of the BIG 21 ?

[vinnie]

Anybody know if any work was done at the Rock?
I know there was some tee boxes that needed back filled, but I had to miss.
If not,after work, but before I got to see my mother, I will do a little.

[vinnie]

Goblin just called......we screwed around too long on back filling......the city has removed ALL the dirt not back filled. We will need to haul dirt in to finish the back fill.....we have to use a truck now.....anybody?

[edman]

Heard a rumor that Smitty could get some dirt from work, which would be way easier, all we have do is rake it out. I figured 4-5 loads. JD was going to check on it last night. JD?
Someone should call the city. They didn't give us much time to back fill. I don't understand why the guys picking up the dirt just didn't back fill them then, so much easier. After the situation they put is in before the 1st pour they need to get an earful from the club. I'll be glad to be diplomatic if someone pm's me the conatact #.

[seewhere]

Edman you have a PM

[may]

I drive a company truck so using it to haul dirt might be ok. Heck I hauled form's and wire mesh and concrete tools all over the place. Would need to be a dry day (several days in a row) before I would pull into the park off the roads with a load of dirt. Its not a 4x4! I assume we are in no hurry now due to excess dirt being removed from boxes. I know the weather outside now and for the next few days is not going to be nice to us. So unless you/we know someone with a 4x4 truck then I would say its going to be awhile before we/I can get in there to spread dirt. And that all depends when/where we can get dirt, free, pay for, what???

[vinnie]

big pile of dirt by the water park can be used

[vinnie]

this thread is dropping to the bottom
Plenty to do out there....retainer walls, dirt moving.
I am calling to have the grass cut around C hole....(the flowers have seeded)
And I am filling in dirt on #6 tee box around 2:00pm...afterwards I am heading to the little pond accross the fence....I wonder if fish are in there......

[vinnie]

Tee box #6 is done and there is fish in the little pond off to the side.
# 4 needs a little dirt
#5 & # 6 need a lot of dirt
AND
# c tee box (short and long need retainer walls built and filled in.
While we are at it.....the hammock rock pile on C basket needs to be restacked and concreted.If we get the rocks pile back up the city will be able to mow that area on the the green.

[vinnie]

Well......Edman will be dropping off some rocks off at tee box C. I will stop off and get some morter to start the retainer walls.....

[seewhere]

Edman will be dropping off some rocks off at tee box C

what time and day?

[vinnie]

5ish

[vinnie]

today

[edman]

I do have rock in the truck now and will be at the park by 5:30 today. We will take advantage of some cool nights the next couple of days so please come out and give us a hand. We need wheelbarrows, I have everything else. V, I will bring the water jug and some trowels. Look for us on C hole.

[vinnie]

Ware, Edman and I were able to construct the retainer wall for the am box on C hole......We opened are pie holes and followed through....I am glad something of content comes out our pie holes. [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

[seewhere]

we will be trimming some trees weds around 3:00 over by the long box on C hole to the left of the tee. if you can come out early please do. loppers and gloves are needed.

[edman]

Any takers on finishing up the dirt work this week? 5 guys could finish it in 2-3 hours with the trailer I can bring. Don't be skeered of a little run-up. Let's finish it before the Solo which is only 2 1/2 weeks out.

[vinnie]

Here are somethings people can take on their own.
Clear up the woods around #16 & #17 basket
trim up the trees in the fairway of #c
Stack and morter/glue the rock pile by #c basket (this need to be restaacked or removed so the mowers can do their job)
Dig level the area behind pro tee box #c (need area behind the box to sit 3 to 4 people while playing the hole.
Weed eat the path down the dam side of #b tee box.
Weed eat and restack walls on tee box# 10
There is plenty that can be done without us organizing a workday.
TAKE SOME PRIDE IN YOUR COURSE
Even master players can help out

[vinnie]
