1st League Night Take 2: Start Time 5:00pm

We will definitely be playing league tonight. We will be teeing at 5:00pm so make sure to be there and signed in before then. The rain should be moved out by then but if not it will just be light and we will always make an effort to play in light rain as long as it is safe.

Parts of the course will be flooded (3 & 4 for example) so plan accordingly.

We will play the normal layout as long as holes are passable. If impassable, we have contingency layouts used in the past but we have not had to use them much since the 100 year flood 5 or so years ago.

We are all excited to start league play and we'll try again for next week. 5:00pm start next week.

DGLO-Toboggan

We are still looking for a limited number of spotters Friday - Sunday at the Toboggan. This is preferably an all day commitment however, if you cannot do a whole day we may be able to work you in. Because of the removal of the autumn olive on the course the number of spotters is much smaller than in years past. All spotters will be provided with a dri fit shirt, lunch, and some x out discs provided by Discraft. If you are interested in spotting for the event, please post here, indicating the days that you are available to spot. Thanks!

Course Development Fund

Our Board of Directors have made the decision to create an course development fund as we see a need for more courses in our area. The way that we have decided to fund this endevour, is to collect $1 from every player at our leagues this year, in order to play. We will easily have enough money to purchase 18 baskets by seasons end. We hope that having money in hand for all of the baskets, it will lead to us finding a home for a new course. This is not an optional $1, it is mandatory and we believe that is it a small enough fee that it should not impact anyone too greatly.

It is not an impossible amount of money by any means but you would need to know what your goal is I am going to assume. There is other land than the park. Other schools in MI have courses on them. I would recommend investigating land that is owned by the schools in the area

9/20 Goldenrod Start Time 5:00p.m.

Sunset is at 7:34 tonight and it will get shorter and shorter each week from her on out.

Also, the park rules state that the rangers close the park at sunset. Sometimes they do it right at sunset, sometimes later but we have also seen them come early so 2 1/2 hrs should be just enough time to play, do payouts and get out of dodge before the man comes.
