Wow! we did it.
All 36 tee pads are now complete. This was a huge project. Much thanks to the State for all the digging and concrete moving with the tractor. Thanks to everyone else who came out and helped with wheelbarrows, finishing and all that other stuff. And a huge thanks To the Eagle Scouts who helped us get the hardest ones to reach done today.

13 more concrete pads finished today!
Thanks to all who came out and helped get us over the hump, 25 down 11 to go! Truck was there at 8:30 and we were done by 10 but it's funny how the real work is staying the rest of the day to guard 13 freshly poured tee pads that are scattered around a state park on a busy Saturday afternoon!

More Pads!
Concrete Round 2! The next set of concrete tees at the Portage Lakes disc golf course are on schedule to be poured on Saturday, June 23 at 8:30 AM. There are 13 tees to be poured and help is needed, as are wheelbarrows and finishing tools. FYI, the 12 tees poured last time look great! Several people (and wheelbarrows) who helped on the last pour will be out of town, so all help will be appreciated. So that we can know if we have enough help to proceed, please respond if you can help. Eve ... more

Tee Pads/ mowing

This time we are doing the short tees down in the valley (2,3,18) and holes 5 thru 9 longs and shorts. 13 tees total for the next pour. I will also try to have them mow 15's fairway (it's a jungle) before our thursday league which is singles/doubles this week
