Just to let everyone know, the Park Dept. cut down several trees on hole 7 because they were either dead or suffering from the EAB (Emerald Ash Borer). The tunnel shot is still there but we may have to plant more to fill in some gaps (a huge hyzer route has opened up but it plays through 8's fairway). They cleaned most of the big stuff up but there are still some branches that need dragged away. I'll be out there in the morning to tidy up and probably shovel the pads if anyone's interested.

Dan Kilgore, Carl Peterson and myself cleaned up the remaining debris on 7 then played/shoveled the pads today. We also layed out some possible future holes down the shoreline past 6's future long pin. It's amazing the different perspective you can get from being able to walk out on the ice. Thanks guys

Yo Matt, any thoughts on putting a Mando on hole 7 to prevent crossing into 8?

Yeah Jon, That is what we're gonna have to do to keep the integrity of the hole.
