If someone can help me decide/mark them tonight, we can have them in effect Sunday (for safety reasons they are good ideas with 45 people on the course). I am not a fan of mandos, unless for safety, but in this case those would definitely be, can't have a hyzer bomb dropping on someone putting on #7.
Sean Newland September 10, 2012 at 11:25pm
Since any shot that goes right of the tree on #1(over baseball diamond) will go over the basket/fairway of #7, for safety reasons, it should me a Mandatory Left of Tree. As for #6 it should be a Mando to out and around instead of going through the back again for safety as Mid/Long Tee's for #5 are there.

Mando on 1? WhatyoutalkinaboutWillis
Hunter S. Dotson September 10, 2012 at 11:04pm
The hope is to have them 100% before Sunday. Thanks for the kind words on the clean up, Yes the mandos will stay, those whom remember them should remind the newbies.

nice work out there 24chains! I assume the rest of those pavers and 2x6"s will be flush with the ground eventually......also will there be mandos on 1 and 6 like days of old?

baskets now have florescent orange tape on the physical pin, so you can now see them from a longer distance. You can thank the Admiral for that. Not sure why or who, but someone shoved a pole into the top of some of baskets. Meant to take those down. I know 24 Cha!ns has some plans to make the baskets better in the very near future. Also filled a TON of gopher/animal holes, but continue to watch out for ankle breakers.

I would like to thank Mike Even, Miah Swain, Cassidy Mayne, Dan Whitlock, Sean Newland, Felicia Sills, K.C. Skedzielewski, Steve Tubbert, Anthony Voss, Stevo Masten, Sheldon Bowen for coming out and spending a Saturday morning to fix up a forgotten course.
I think that the work that was done is a great step toward fixing this course up and hopefully with the motivation of others and within ourselves we can make this course something that people will want to play (at least once). Future wo ...

Ben you can pick up a can of environmentally non-toxic hippie approved spray paint at Lowes. Might be a good idea to have a can laying around anyways for Lakeshore and whatnot.
Oh, Kenny road/parking lot on 8 is OB son.

Good job 24 Chains lots of work was done course is looking better already. I'm on hole 5 right now, didn't see any ivy on #3- that low shrub stuff on the first part of 3 is not ivy, its some sort of thorn bush. I walk right throuugh it.
Hunter S. Dotson September 10, 2012 at 5:03pm
if you are out there and have the means please help the tee pads out on the field shots.. I think getting those int he ground prior to them growing legs and finding new homes is a must.

This course is rapidly reaching B+/A- ranking. I will let the Admiral get into all the details of what has been done, but 24 Cha!ns DGL was out there for 8+ hours this past Saturday. I must admit, hole 4 is looking amazing its almost a brand new hole. Heads up on hole 3 though...... Poison Ivy is covering 60% of the fairway. Steveo made a path with the weed whacker, but it's pretty gnarly still. Course is looking lean and mean.
Hunter S. Dotson September 7, 2012 at 12:43am
Did some work today and course is looking good. Need to drag out the trimmings and fallen. There is about 4-5 truck loads of woodchips near basket 8 so anyone who has a truck and or wheelbarrow please bring it to the work day on sat. It would be great to be able to cover the fairways on 2 and 3 to help slow down the ivy.

Its got both of your names on it? Awe, isn't that adorable. Who keeps it if you two break up?
Mike Even August 14, 2012 at 10:38pm
There's a good chance Dan that bad boy is in the mouth of a free range Pit Bull already
Mike Even August 10, 2012 at 6:18pm
That means great things are coming folks, this will be re-rated to a A Class course in the near future ;)
Sean Newland September 10, 2012 at 11:34pm
If you want to stop by Tuesday Ben, KC and I and possibly a couple other will be there if you want to bring lamented signs/flags to post for Mandatory Markers. #1 Tree should be Mando left, and #6 should be Mando straight out(not slight left to backdoor) for obvious safety reasons.
