A few days of nice, and we've back to square one. We got about a foot here in Ann Arbor, a wee bit more than the 1 to 3 inches forecast. Nice job, weathermen. Worst call of the year...

here's what I know -- shorts HM original are all good except Hole D -- Longs mostly covered. Monster no go. On Wed, course still had snow but drained nicely for the most part.
lakeshore front 9, all shorts and longs except 1 long are good, grass by 1 long is fine. extra 6 not sure but A was covered. back 9 longs mostly still covered, many but not all shorts are fine. forget xtra back 4. large puddles of 2" water are over the place but can walk around them.

Willow Longs and shorts in perfect condition. Course is not flooded yet.

Willow short look pretty good. They could use light shoveling to get them looking really good, but they are playable. Only a couple of them had a couple of icy patches otherwise nice. Longs have been plowed by the park, however most of them have an 1/8 to 1/4 inch of ice on them. Highly dangerous!
The park once again took a tractor through the course so there are tire tracks down every fairway. Real easy on the legs compared to some other courses. That is as long as you throw straight. However course has only been lightly played so lots of fresh snow makes tracking discs fairly easy.

As of Sunday morning, most of the shorts at HM Original are clear (1-3, 6-18). I think 4,5,A,E, & F still have the 4 or so inches we got on Saturday but our group skipped those due to (anticipated) exhaustion. The big snowfall had been cleared, thankfully. The snowmobile trail makes for better than expected walking and they've stopped driving over the tee pads after some prodding.

Stony Creek: short 24. Removed 8-12 inches of snow from tee pads. Started snowing again around hole 20. 1/2 inch fresh on hole 1 when we left. However 10 mile south at my pad we had 4-5 new snow when I got home.

Bandemer is all clear as of 1/23/11

Anybody get a chance to clear the pads at Bandy while things were warm and wet?
Joe Wander January 17, 2011 at 5:46pm
As of Sunday a.m., the Reds on Hudson Mills Original are clear (21 of them, at least). Although a bunch of folks had played, and the snowmobile had been run over several tees, the accumulated snow came off pretty easily. Sadly, our shovel did pass away just as we were wrapping up. Sounds like more snow and (yikes!) rain is expected shortly, so we may not be so lucky next time. Time to develop some crust on this snow so we can have some epic adventures out there.

Way to keep things decent out there, Matt. Hopefully the overnight snow won't be too much of a hassle. Play well, watch out for the Revenge of the Chili during round 2.
We got roughly a foot at my place as well. Bandy & Windy Indy are literally around the corner from my house, which means those pads have a bout a foot on them as well. :(
