RRolling shorts are shoveled

we shoveled hudson mills original shorts yesterday. it was about as much fun as it sounds.
if the sign is for nick it is most likely 2' off the ground and obstructed by a snow drift.
Nice job, G. They'd been cleared on Sunday so hopefully things hadn't gotten too bad.
No kidding on the sign, that's hilarious, my one attempt at being a vocal ended up with serious fail

Anybody know what the pads at stoney are looking like
Nate Wheeling March 10, 2013 at 5:39am
HM Update: Original shorts are clear, but all the other pads are under an slushy/icey mix. A couple of warm days with sun should do the trick. Fairways are squishy, slushy, and still icey in certain parts.

*Lakeshore* - Shorts on back 15 -18+letters are spotty. Some pads clear and good, some with only a spot for a stand-still and some just completely covered. Bring Shovel and salt if you can.
I'm going to get to all tees tonight after close..for the tournament tomorrow..if it's sunny all day, it should finally slide right off..

Star Jaycee is all clear

Anybody know how the pads look at rolling hills? Were they cleared for church league last Sunday?
Government bureaucracy at its finest. We complain, they do enough to cover their own butts. You'd think with all of our pay to play fees they could send one of those workers out for an hour or so on his golf cart to shovel every once and awhile. They sure don't mind driving around and harassing us to pay fees all summer.
I would like to give big-time kudos to the Indy Lake staff who keep both the mid & long pads clear all winter long.

Lakeshore- all but a few (15,16 for some reason were completely impossible to shovel) of the original 24's short pads are clear now. Most longs untouched. Should have them done for Saturday's tournament.
Joe Wander February 27, 2013 at 5:47pm
Reset!
Today would be the day to go out and shovel. All the pads are just slushy, get them clean today and they won't collect ice overnight tonight.

Lakeshore seems mostly shoveled- the PDGA league did the longs the other day, not sure if 18 or more than 18, and I gave the shovel to some people this morning and it appears they shoveled all the short tees!
Joe Wander February 23, 2013 at 11:19pm
Anyone with updates following the recent snowage? Hope it gets cold tonight so at least it will be a dry round tomorrow.

Hudson original short and Picnic clear

Jerry Cyr, the Park Operations Manager for Delhi, Dexter-Huron, Hudson Mills & Huron Meadows Metroparks, was nice enough to get back to me regarding the course and the tee pads in the winter time (see my post regarding the email I sent him a couple pages back).
He said that for the league members that play out there (A3, etc.) are welcome to use their in house shovels & salt anytime, just remember to return them.
Better than nothing I say - looks like asking nicely paid off.

RH shorts in better shape now due to added (environmentally friendly per Foz's recommendation) salt. Only had a quart jar of salt so some tees in back woods portion only have 2 good steps or half a tee. There is also a community shovel on the 1st tee, a good quality one, thank you Foz.

rolling tees like they are most winters. front half cleared. back side icy; would require salt and some serious labor
Hunter S. Dotson January 1, 2013 at 11:16pm
Bandemer is a nightmare. Had I had the means to clear it I would have but I played left if pad to keep it classy. Fairways are decent but pads need shoveling and sega salt.
A regular flat shovel works great, it might be smaller but way better than any snow shovel on stepped on compacted snow on the pads
They looked to be mend-able. not super packed yet but unless someone gets out there soon it will be deadly.
if I go there, I will be ready for them, but probably going to willow

Lakeshore- shoveled and salted 1-18 short totally clear. 1-9 long shoveled, no salt, clear though.
Jim Daniels December 31, 2012 at 6:49pm
Indy was in good shape shorts and long (except some longs on extras) when we left on Sat aftn.
peter kunoff December 31, 2012 at 5:47pm
happy to see this still being used despite my winter hibernation
Was that right after they charged you two bucks to play?
