Want to put out a thanks to the crew who was involved with the official pour of first tee pad at Camp Taloali this last Sunday. Also located some trails and fairways with some leaf removal. If we had more materials on site we could have accomplished more and hope this can be worked out in future so we can pour more then 1 a day. It's a start and that's good but now interested in the plan for future to continue and finish this project. If we want top quality courses to play on then ... more

If we want top quality courses to play on then we need to all step up and pull together on this and other projects. Let's get them done and then play on our courses and be proud of them.
Thank you,
Steve

Again BIG thanks go out today to the gang of 5 who continued on with the Camp Taloali Teepad work. Thanks go out to Rich Ayers, Joe Higgins, Myself, Chris Wilcox and Ira. Again led on this time by 3 grandmasters (older gents) we were able to finish prep work, setting and leveling frames on 9 tee pad areas. Stay tuned for plans on pouring (date not set firm yet) and then finishing up work on rest of tee pads (to be scheduled). Sure would be nice to see some new faces on this project to help u ... more

Lots of manual labor for us older gents to be dealing with. I'll think of the soreness tomorrow as a handicap for you younger players at bad ace play.
Keep in mind when you play anywhere what it takes to put courses in and keep them up.

Thanks again to todays group, lot done for numbers there.

Being from up North of the Salem area, I have no room to speak on this subject, Steve but I have to say that for all of the "Calls to Duty" that you have issued to the local golfing group, it's sad that your requests for help go un-answered. Its not just down South or disc golfers, Steve. Its HUMAN NATURE. Humans are "Takers". They never give without being able to take. ALL HUMANS!! People don't want to work when they can play. I read every post that asks for volunt ... more

Its not just down South or disc golfers, Steve. Its HUMAN NATURE. Humans are "Takers". They never give without being able to take. ALL HUMANS!! People don't want to work when they can play. I read every post that asks for volunteers to help. The same handful of dedicated and willing workers. To few to do anything but put a small dent in the task ahead. Still the work gets done, slowly but surely. While the same 100's of people enjoy playing the course's down there, its the same few Volunteers that show up to do the work. Try posting a work party with FREE BEER & HOT DOGS for every person who puts in 4 hours of hard work. Thats back to the "Takers" all Humans are. Offer something people can take and they will show up to get it. Put the beer and food clear across the park and tell them to work their way to it. It just seems that what my grand-mother Harris would say, "Youth is wasted on the young." They want to live so fast and do everything now not realizing that by doing the work first, makes the job last your whole life. Grand-ma Harris wasn't the first person to say it but it's so damn true. Keep up the good fight and dont let the bastards get ya down, Steve.lol Kudos to you and the Crew that did show up for the tee-pad work.

BIG Thanks go out to Chris Wilcox, Rich Ayers, and Mr. Clean Lee for joining myself and getting work accomplished today at Camp Taloali. Kind of sad picture when half of work force is grand and senior grand masters who are trying hard to get it done. Anyway thanks to 4 of us a lot of dirt tee pad areas are rototilled and in process of getting this task accomplished. For those that can this Friday 10:00 sure would be nice to see anyone that can make it, to make it there. Bring shovels and rak ... more

For those that can this Friday 10:00 sure would be nice to see anyone that can make it, to make it there. Bring shovels and rakes and such. We should be laying forms and maybe even do some pouring depending. Thanks go out to Chris W for heading this project up at this time.
You all keep saying you want them and now is the time to step and and let some actions do the talking instead of jaws just flapping.

Thanks all and hope to see you there and on future projects.

ACE opens at 8, ill hookup the rototiller then get gas and head to taloali. should be there about 8:30-8:45. rototiller is on its own trailer <2"> so ill tow it down but will have to leave after a couple hours, if someone else can tow it back that would be great other wise ill need to take it with me? also i have a trailer that would be perfect for hauling rocks and debris out or hauling materials in the rough terrain if anybody want to swing by and pick it up at my house it might be nice to have? ANYBODY showing for this? or maybe ill just rototill up where i want the pads? lol jokin! ok LETS DO WORK!!! I'LL be seeing the TALOALI GREENSKEEPER in the morning...

Steve Moore    November 6, 2012 at 9:58pm

Thanks for offer Mr Clean. That would be a big help woth a rototiller and I'm sure any expense gas or such club can reimburse. If you are able to get one and join us wednesday let me know if you think you might be there on course before 10:00 and I can head up early. As far as cement mixer I believe Chris as that handled dependeing how wednesday goes. Should all be good and great when done. Thanks again for offer and hope to see you out there.

a number of times ive done work partys at taloali ive been able to pickup equipment from ACE hardware in stayton, equipment loaned to taloali free of charge. there very good about letting us use the machines for that course. i'll go by today and try and work some magic for a rototiller, anything else we might need? cement mixer on the 9th? i know they open at 8am and loaners are based on availability so i would suggest maybe a couple of us get to taloali around 8:30 to start if i can get a rototiller soon as they open.

Steve Moore    November 6, 2012 at 3:53am

I know some folks work and such but Chris Wilcox and I spent some time At Taloali this morning looking at work needed for tee pad prep and install. As it was just the two of us not much else got done. In case you are not aware of it there is work party planned for Wednesday the 7th at 10:00. At this time we need bodies, shovels, and other implements of construction. Also any rototillers would be a great help. Depending on how far we get then the next step will be pouring cement.

At this time we need bodies, shovels, and other implements of construction. Also any rototillers would be a great help. Depending on how far we get then the next step will be pouring cement. The needed items should be all ready to go if we can get the prep work done. You all want them so bad so let's step up and get this done. Two of us cannot do it alone and we need to pull together in general, not just this project.
So I challange the Salem area disc golfers to step up and show what we can do and improve the great sport we have for all. It can only get better if we all pull together, my challange is out to all.
Your sermon ( otherwise known as sensible talk) for today,
Thanks all from the grey hair and bearded guy with the cane,

Latest news I just received from Camp Taloali is closed till after Labor day (Sept 4th) now which is later then we first thought. That word is from camp chairman by way of Richard Olson. Guess we wait awhile longer, it will be good when it happens.
