Looking for some help, Bry's shooters! Just talked to the SCS Parks Manager, Tom, and he said that he can have some wood chips dumped at the park for us. His only question was when. I don't have a wheelbarrow at my house, but have several shovels and rakes. Anyone have a wheelbarrow (or 2) that could be used to spread wood chips on the course? I would think 1/13 and 11/23 would get the first attention, as well as the pads that you cannot run up on. Your help is extremely appreciated!
I can help, i have a wheelbarrow and shovels
I think we need more than wood chips around some of the tees, as the tees pond up with water around them the chips just float away, a few of them are in need of something heavier like some type of gravel
Holes 1, 2/14, 15, 16, 17, possibly 7, 10 and 22, 24 are all in need of some maintenance
Thanks, Brendan, and totally agree, Jay. Will reach out to them about that, as well. Many of those tee pads mentioned I don't think would interfere with mowing as very little grass grows in those muddy spots. I wouldn't think pea gravel would be a problem. For the record, Tom's plans ... more

Many of those tee pads mentioned I don't think would interfere with mowing as very little grass grows in those muddy spots. I wouldn't think pea gravel would be a problem. For the record, Tom's plans are to dump wood chips in the parking lot near the porta-john, then also dump some in the back by the old bathroom that's closed. Moyer asked if they could do this Friday, May 17th, and the city's cool with it. I won't be able to get there until after work that day, but hopefully Jay can get some of the Friday people there early to help. Will follow up with their reply to the gravel...
Im free all day friday
A WEEK from this Friday, the 17th, is the tentative date.
Well, I finally connected with the Parks Manager and it's a go. This Friday, May 17th, the city is going to drop off 2 piles of wood chips - one by the porta-john in the front parking lot, a second by the old bathroom building in the back.

Well, I finally connected with the Parks Manager and it's a go. This Friday, May 17th, the city is going to drop off 2 piles of wood chips - one by the porta-john in the front parking lot, a second by the old bathroom building in the back. We have a few commitments, but the more help we have, obviously the better. Tom said it shouldn't be a problem if I bring an ATV with a trailer to help move them. As far as the gravel/slag sand, he said he's going to try to have his people lay this down. He wanted to know specifically which tee pads were problems, and I forwarded Jay's post from above. He said if they can't get to them, they will try to leave the gravel for us, as well. Again, all help is extremely appreciated! It sounds like they are shooting for earlier in the day to do the drop.
I posted on the Tuesday page that the wood chips have been dumped for us. Not sure what or when they will do the gravel (or if at all). I'm heading up late afternoon (weather complying) to get a head start. Any help is appreciated!
