Hudson mills: 18 blues shoveled and scraped today. They are still slick. Need salt badly. Reds are a wreck.

Stony creek: Some cleaered, some were not. we kicked most clean that needed it. However did see a shovel behind us about 13 holes.

Gabris just pointed me in this direction:
Pads at Indy, Chuck D....Started with Black Tee #1, shovel broke while scrapping ice on White Pad #1. So I didn't scrap too much since it was so packed down. Kept going though, shovel finally had the handle blow out and I made the crack in the blade wider Pad #9. Blacks & Whites are clear 1-8. I didn't do the Reds at all since they are natural tees. The plan is to dig out the rest this weekend and picnic. Scott made a post on the I ...

What does the authority say on salting pads?
So after more research I say:
Avoid salting if possible. We generally don't know the quality of the concrete install. Because we don't know the quality it is risky to use salt as it subjects the concrete to a freeze/thaw cycle where the pores can absorb the water as a liquid. When the salts gets cleaned off or used up then the water in the pores freezes, expanding and causing su ...

Updates for Rolling Hills? I'll be packing a shovel for Sunday but I was wondering about ice on the pads?
Scott White December 13, 2010 at 8:35pm
Short tees at Rolling Hills were shoveled by every group yesterday. I think more snow fell then it froze so I wouldn't expect them to be playable right now. Probably need to salt

Most of the red tees at HM Original have been cleared of what had fallen by late Sunday morning. Excellent day out there, a true test of towels and Goretex. Most of the pads were too slick to play off, but hopefully it won't be too bad when someone gets out there early this week to start scraping.

Here we go again, kiddies. Another season of slip sliding along. Keep those tee-pad updates coming...

Does anyone know how the conditions are out at Indy Lake? Is it dry enough to play without destroying the fairways? Are the tee-pads muddy?

I shoveled all shorts including extras at Hudson Mills, Monster course yesterday. Hope the sun finishes the job.
Jeremy Gibbs March 6, 2010 at 3:50am
Vienna: Shorts, perfect. Longs, untouched snow covered when I paid attention.
Ottawa: Shorts, perfect. Longs, we shoveled the ones we could find (missed 4 or so). Icy underneath, but should all have melted with the sunny day (except the 4).
Hudson Mills Original reds, some progress made in clearing. A few of the really bad ones were just beyond the shovel we had and willingness to get mucho tired. We had some salt and applied a bit to most tees, was helping a bot/ Nice snow condition otherwise. Snowmobile had been around the course, which can make for easier trekking.
