Just wanted to say thanks to those that showed up for the work day. We got a lot done. Still more to do, but what we got done looks good. THANKS

Rick Wardell    December 11, 2010 at 10:36am

Work day is on. See you out there @10:00.

Rick Wardell    December 10, 2010 at 11:11am

I'm still planning on working on the course tomorrow. Don't know about anyone else, but I will be there at 10:00. We will have to see if the ground is firm enough to drive on, but so far so good. If it is raining probably wont be out there long. Bring a wheelbarrow if you have one and can bring it. Don't forget rakes and shovels. I'm thinking we should work on the back holes, and maybe the city will finish the top holes. Don't really want them tearing up the back holes with there tractor. Still need to spread chips up top though.

I am going out for a while this morning. some spreading i will do.

Rick Wardell    December 8, 2010 at 12:10pm

If anyone wants to rake out the chips around the baskets, go for it. I was thinking of leaving it fairly thick under the basket. The chips will settle and get spread out soon enough. Just make the area level and cover the dirt. The tee pad areas need a thin layer around them to reduce the amount of chips from being dragged onto the pads, but go ahead and spread the rest out. If you think there is too much in some areas take the extra to the alternate baskets that they didn’t put chips on, ... more

The tee pad areas need a thin layer around them to reduce the amount of chips from being dragged onto the pads, but go ahead and spread the rest out. If you think there is too much in some areas take the extra to the alternate baskets that they didn’t put chips on, or anywhere else close that you think needs them. Might need a wheelbarrow for that.

We can do all of this Saturday or if someone wants to do it before then that’s fine. Looks like it might rain Saturday anyway. If it doesn’t rain too much this week we can drive trucks out there, and get some work done. The tractor did some damage but it should be fine by spring. I think the damage by original hole 2, in the ditch can be fixed now if you want. I am hoping they will do more chip spreading. I asked for all of the baskets, and pads to be done. Don’t think they will go out to the back holes though. We will need to do that I think.

Of course if you are playing go ahead and kick some around while you are waiting to throw too

Rick Wardell    December 7, 2010 at 4:20pm

In that case we will have a work day. Hope they didnt tear it up too much.

Rick Wardell    December 7, 2010 at 4:18pm

Awsome!!!! I was hopeing they would do something.

David ''Eky'' Ekenstam    December 7, 2010 at 4:07pm

The city went around to most of the tee pads on the top and dumped a bunch of woodchips. They just need to be raked around better.

Rick Wardell    December 7, 2010 at 3:49pm

We may still have a work day this Saturday 11 Dec. but we will have to see if the grounds firms up, or freezes. I will post if we are working or not, Friday morning. Keep an eye out. Like I said in my first post “if you want to take wheelbarrows out there go ahead anytime you want”. Don’t need to have a work day for that.

Rod Hess    December 5, 2010 at 9:08pm

What a fun round, "Triples" and skins. Thanx Todd, come back soon!!

Rick Wardell    December 3, 2010 at 8:32am

Due to the warmer weather, and snow melt this week, the ground is too soft to drive trucks on. We just don’t want to leave too many tire tracks on our beautiful course. Hopefully the city won’t go out and tear it up today. We will shoot for next week. Thanks to those who were planning on coming out. Hopefully you can make it next week. If you can’t we will understand. Please get the word out.

Just moving this back to the top again.. I will be working this Staurday and next Saturday. We were thinking of having a prewinter work day. Too late I know, but we should try to get some wood chips spread out around the baskets, tee pads, and trails. I asked the city to spread chips around all of those areas, but I am not counting on that happening. I was thinking of Dec 4th or the 11th or both. Bring shovels, rakes, wheel barrows, and anything you can think of to move and disperse chips. I ... more

There is always extra tools to use. I was thinking of starting around 10:00 am and playing the 1:00 tag round. Perhaps if we get on a roll some of us may work thru the tag round. If it’s too muddy / slimy we won’t be working. If the ground is frozen we can still work. We don’t want to tear up the ground too much with trucks. If someone can’t make it out Saturday they can work anytime they want to. Just spread chips anywhere you think we need it. It’s all good.

how to get to the course
I-15; Riverdale exit (exit 339, 35 miles north of Salt Lake City). East on Riverdale Rd. 2 miles to a right on 700 west (last road before bridge). Go 250 ft., turn left and follow road past city office building to dead end. 1st tee is east of parking lot. Follow trail from the South East corner of the parking lot.

I am loving the new (long) pins! I would like to see the baskets stay in the long settiing for a while.

Mike Correll    September 24, 2010 at 1:21pm

People (NUDGA) really take good care and pride in this course, getting a little crowded these days but well worth it. Lots of new pin placements so the signs are a little out of date but just follow the groups ahead of you. Enjoy :o)

Jay Kovach    September 24, 2010 at 12:05pm

Is this place like ultra clean, the tee signs are premo and navigation of the course is a piece of cake that people give this course a A+? Im just wondering i have heard it is a nice course

Rick Wardell    August 6, 2010 at 5:13pm

I'm pretty sure it on tomorrow. Just wasn't sure who was running it. Nothing posted here.

Rick Wardell    August 5, 2010 at 12:21pm

Is anyone running the Eyes on the Prize this weekend. Haven’t seen much traffic on here this week about it. I have other plans but, others might like to know for sure.
