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 the Brys main page. 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. Shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows needed!

With that being said, I agree Brad that it would just be a temporary fix filling those holes you mentioned with just wood chips. I conveyed this to the Parks Manager and he said they would try to get us some gravel. He's b ... more

Was just informed the city workers are patching the holes around the tee pads with slag sand. Would love to say, Booyah!, but will wait til I see the job they did. I'll be up there in a little while. FYI!

Well, how was it?

Well, they did lay down slag on several holes. Kinda weird on 17's tee. It was like a wet cement that didn't cure. With the chips on top, it's still pretty mushy. Certainly can't complain, tho. I literally busted my ass off last night hauling probably 8 or 9 trailer loads. Tried ... more
