Thanks all,
Steve

I should be on course by 11:00 looks like and spend afternoon till I burn out. If you can make it be happy to see you there.
Thanks,
Steve

Work party went as well as can be expected for a weekday afternoon. I got the whole course raked out around basket and trails like I usually try to do. Some others from chain gang that were able to get there got some more barkdust spread around tees and trail between 1 and 2 before bridge got cleared out and area by 6/15 got some clearing out done. Drop on by and check it out. Thanks to those that were able to drop by and help out and chain gang has been a good deal for Woodmansee and thanks ... more

Thanks to those that were able to drop by and help out and chain gang has been a good deal for Woodmansee and thanks for their follow thru on helping to keep things up there. Always more can be done on any course but hope we are all trying to set an example at Woodmansee for others to follow.

Thanks again from the old man,

Thanks for the support chaingang followers. I plan on being at Woodmansee by 1:00 latest next Tuesday for work party efforts. Any one that throws disc is more then welcome to join in the fun of keeping up a course. Machete for trail clearing would be handy along with wheelbarrows and shovels.
Strut your stuff proud, show what can be done, and feel good about what got done next time you play a round on the course. I've tried to step up and lead by example, and maybe some folks are star ... more

Strut your stuff proud, show what can be done, and feel good about what got done next time you play a round on the course. I've tried to step up and lead by example, and maybe some folks are starting to get the big picture. I'll take any and all help as my time is starting to go towards learning web page work.
Thanks again all and chain gang so far has been following thru with a well done from the old man,

I would like to put out a big thank you to those from Chain Gang and others that were able to help out yesterday at Woodmansee and moving some Barkdust around tee pads. Any and all help is appreciated. After my full day on course yesterday cleaning up fairways and trails and with new barkdust spread before Tuesday two's, I feel the course is in the best shape ever at this time. Even so there is always more that can be done, still plenty of barkdust to use up and keeping berryvines and su ... more

Even so there is always more that can be done, still plenty of barkdust to use up and keeping berryvines and such off trails. Again thanks to those that do and hopefully we will be able to spread the word how important course conditions everywhere should be. Let's try to all get involved and make it easier for the work to be done.
I feel strongly course condition, signage, and such is important to an enjoyable day instead of just playing on any old place.
Thanks from the old man and see you on course sometime to throw a round.

Please assist me in trying to keep this course in top shape to show what can be accomplished. Means alot to most players shape courses are in, especially those new to our sport or not so hard core to trek lost through rough course conditions.

Thanks all,

Spent good day on course to celebrate mowing of fairways. Played a round and then spent few hours working on course. Work accomplished includes raking and cleaning around baskets, fairways, and safe landing zones as much as allowed by parks at this time. Will probably try and return tomorrow to clean up tee pads.

With this the course is now getting back in good shape and with alls help hope to keep it at least at this level, still room to improve yet.

Let me know if you want to help out and let you know what I'd like to see next, mostly getting bark dust piles used up where needed, let me know.

Good news is the fairways are now mowed down and brings much enjoyment back to game. Also have gotten damaged/missing t-sign taken care of with assist from Beast. Let's all put on a good showing and respect our courses and educate those that need it or are new to the sport.

rick manley    June 27, 2012 at 8:28am

me n austin hit manzee all the time. forget ratings, the shots that are used at manzee are amazing. If your serious about golf you want practice like this.

Steve Moore    June 27, 2012 at 7:40am

While at course today doing upkeep and such made a list of vandlised items we need to get replaced. I spent some of time cleaning basket top rings of graffiti, possible gang tags, and peoples aces written on them. I hope people will get the hint. As far as tee signs go we now have 3 missing top cover plate and tee sign. Also have two more with top cover plates cracked and broke but still there at this time.

Also have had #8 and #17 numbers removed from side of tee posts that will need replacing. I can do the reprint of the sign and get them laminated again as needed. One reason this design has advantage as not to much cost to replace as unfortunetly I figured this may happen some. I feel the club should get another batch of top plates made with extras so we can replace has needed in a timely manner. The upkeep of our courses should be top priority because without them we will not be able to continue the growth of our sport in this area.

i agree with tyler, woodmasee is not a special course it rarely gets mowed tons of vadalism stolen baskets the bathrooms are usually dirty parking can be horrible if they have little league games the neighbors complain about the throwers constently and the walkers are everywhere

Tyler Franklin    June 17, 2012 at 7:12pm

You know beast. I understand that your the greenskeeper for woods and that this course has a special place in your heart. But you talk about it as if it is gods gift to earth. I personally feel that most every one of those courses that you listed are better than woodmansee and have more to offer. The rating system works fine. And if it diddnt then I'm sure the people that run this website would fix it.

THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS    June 17, 2012 at 10:12am

I just would like to say that I don't agree with the current rating on WOODMANSEE course at #34. Ewing Young, Champoeg, Lunchtime, and Winnerberg all rate better than WOODMANSEE! Some of those courses don't have many reviews and most of woodmansee's reviews are old, but there is no standard to compare courses by, thus an in accurate rating. Please come play WOODMANSEE and review it if you haven't or update your old review to share this course as the beauty it is.

THANKS, BEAST (CCDG GreensKeeper)

Woodmansee made a meal of my bag yesterday. Lost my yellow latitude flow w/flaming dice dye, and my bliz ape with my first ever throw of it on 8. just got it out of the mail yesterday morning. It has a 2012 Capital City Classic stamp on it, but didn't get my name on it yet. I will happily reward their finders! Thanks to all of you that took the time to help me look too, which was everyone who passed me!

THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS    May 10, 2012 at 11:46pm

G.L.W. Is moving to friday nights and will be a handicap league before as well. More details to come.

Steve Moore    May 9, 2012 at 3:59am

My best wishes out to the Chain Gang and seing a weekly event for folks at Woodmansee. I was on course yesterday for cleaning and throwing so should be in good shape for all. Can't get there tonight but might be looking at future weeks as plans allow.

Take care, enjoy the course and help the old man out keeping it clean for all, Thanks

THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS    May 5, 2012 at 5:45am

CCDG event schedule change may be coming to WOODMANSEE. At the CCDG meeting on Wed. the 9th at Top Dog I will be asking the board to consider changing G.L.W. To Friday nights when the moon is Not visible and on those nights I would like to run a Handicap league before G.L.W. Not sure yet what to call the handicap league but I will try to use the automatic handicap system in DGscene.com for ease of operation.

*** Update Good news ***

It's official, after some dealing with the powers to be and a parks meeting last night, the bridge at Woodmansee hole 6/15 is open to traffic for now as of this morning. In celebration of this I spent today on course for cleaning tees, trails, and landing zones on full course. Also had a nice round and met part of the Oregon State disc club team that was practicing up our way today.

My next mission is to try and get a mowing schedule worked out with them, not going to be easy one at this time but it is in the works already, keep the faith and have some patience, we have powers to deal with, but it is able to be done.

Keep the discs flying but don't forget to help out to keep our courses clean and playable.

Thanks Steve and the CCDG crew for the Great Upkeep work you do at Woods, and the other Salem Courses. Wish I was still in the area to help out....

**** News Flash *****

I just received word this morning from parks operation supervisor that the bridege at Woodmansee will be reopened until new replacement put in. I feel I have reached some success at this point and will now see how soon it is unlocked. I hope that this will be the beginning of a new and good communication with the parks department.
