Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that showed up to work on the course Saturday. We got a ton of work done thanks to Rod’s skid steer. It only took minutes to fill trucks compared to what it takes to fill a truck by hand. Weed eating was massive. Hopefully the city will come out and do the rest. They may not if the river rises and they have to spend the week sandbagging. They are real sandbaggers. If not we will be fine with what we have. We could always use more but the bulk of the bad areas are good. We had approximately 25 workers out there Saturday. I was going to get names, but I had plumbing issues with my house, so I didn’t get out there till 11:00ish. Sorry!!! To the ones that had legitimate reasons for not coming out. Sorry you couldn’t make it. For the ones that came out and played while we were working, your toast on karma. Is there a reason you couldn’t drop your bags and help? I don’t think so!!!! Oh yeah Sunday T2 and I were out there working in the rain for a couple of hours. Nigel and Kelly came out too but it was too wet to get anything done. I’m sure they would have kicked ass if it wasn’t so wet. They already have. Overall good job NUDGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone wants to work this week go for it. We could use some more weed eating. Just pick a spot where discs land, and are hard to find. Also Tee pads need leveling too, but that may require dirt to be brought in from the mounds by hole 1. Please do not dig holes. I believe Tee’s 10, 11, and 12 still need work as far as leveling goes. Not sure haven’t been out there since Saturday. Go ahead and use chips if available, if you have too, but it won’t last. It will be fine for the RPO. I think Rod could use some help Friday too. Not sure what he is going to do. I think he will be marking Tees and last minute stuff. Contact Rod for details.
