Gloves, shovels, maybe a gas powered weed whip. Ne ETA yet for Sunday. It will depend on what we do tomorrow. The plan now is to clear and spread slag where the new tee pads will go on Saturday as well as dig 3 holes for the new basket placements. Sunday I plan on installing the baskets.

Thanks guys. We are planning on putting down some slag and them moving some pads on the slag. We also may be digging some holes all on Saturday with the intentions of installing the baskets in them on Sunday. For Saturday, Mat Stivers and I plan on getting there around noon...

Sweet. Kerry told me the sign was moved to the offices to get repaired. It is on the list of "Things to do" so who knows when it will be back up. Nice of those guys who did the doughnuts by the volleyball courts to hit the sign on their joy ride :-(

Got some fairways knocked down today, 11 ton of slag dropped off, and holes dug for basket planting. I hope to be out at the park by 10 and ready to install 5 baskets tomorrow. Thank you to Mat Stivers (Messina Landscaping tools are awesome) and Louis Caponi were out there before I left and were giving an awesome effort. Hope to see more people tomorrow...

A lot of progress was made this weekend. The course is still in disarray however, 4 baskets have been planted and tee pad areas are being completed. Thanks to Jason Phillips, Mark Tokie, Louis Caponi, Ted Stoebling, Lydia Novitsky, Dan James, Mat Stivers, Rob Stivers, Mike Cook, Brian and Amber Frawley, and Brian Hurley for helping blaze new paths into the course. We are not done and I am hoping for a Tuesday and Thursday work night this week to continue clearing pad and fairway areas...

Things to do at River Bends should I not be around and you have time on your hands. If not, then I will be there on Thursday to begin: 1.tTee pad for new hole #11 needs some clearing as does the beginning of the fairway. Please leave the bushes that separate the woods and the fairway for old hole 7. 2.tThe path, tee pad, fairway, and putting area for the new hole 12. Walk across the path from the fairway of old hole 7 and enter the woods at the clearing. We also plan on adding in an amateur tee pad just past the big tree. You will know it as soon as you see it uf04a ! 3.tWe also need the path seen in the video I posted cleaned up right behind the new basket 12 leading to old short tee pad #8 which now becomes hole 13. 4.tThere are 2 things going on at old hole 17 which is now hole 22. We have reversed the hole and now the basket for this fairway is now where the tee pad used to be. Nothing needs to be done here however, the next hole needs some love. Hole 23 is in the woods on the right of hole 22u2019s fairway, old hole 17. As you walk to the new basket, the hole is in the woods on the right hand side of the fairway and throws to old basket 17. This tee pad and fairway needs more clearing. The rest of the course from hole 18 through hole 21 now becomes holes 24 u2013 27 and they will stay as is, for nowu2026

Please refer to the map provided a few posts up if you are lost, I sometimes have to myself although holes 22 and 23 are slightly different from the map... Here is the large version: http://www.discgolfscene.com/coursepictures/50425_l.jpg
