They've moved the short tee for #18 since last spring, right? I was there today and it sure seemed a lot closer.    

[kyle]

Yeah, university politics caused it to be moved to a closer and easier position.

[Brian]

They moved the tee because people were hitting the 9/11 tree.

i aced it the other day

[mirth]

Was this your 2nd drive, and/or was it using an illegal disc?

[shawn]

anyone know who now has the key from the tournament?  we need to move some of these baskets before we get a freeze....

anyone have an opinion on where the baskets should be for the winter?

my opinion the only ones that should be moved...

5 long staight
7 off of the hill to right....  we want to rebuild the hill, so that it is teired better.  goal is to get a flatter landing area around the basker that we can sod.
12 short
15 or 16 long?  we need a tough hole..  16 has been cleaned up, so the line is huge.
17 original... I hate the location that it is in now.  I duece it... but hate it.  

[kyle]

I'd like to see 3 back in the original spot. Did the collar ever get fixed?
Maybe 14 off to the left and 16 in one of the alternate spots too.

[SERG]

14 was moved because of poison ivy in the left location. I don't know much about plants and stuff, but will the poison ivy still be active in the winter?

The layout sounds good to me.

Shawn, we can talk to Dave, he has a key. Maybe we can have him move them during the week...or he can let me borrow it.

[Brian]

I would like to see 15 and 16 both in the longs.  

Is four ever in the long position outside of tournament play?

Just for the winter....  the baskets freeze up in the anchors.

Thanks to the folks who cleared Parkside's teepads.  Every one of 'em was clean and ice-free yesterday. It made playing in 4-degree weather much nicer.....

Poison ivy is active year round.  The urushiol oil is found in every part of the plant including the stems.  I've gotten poison ivy in the winter by leaning on trees that had poison ivy vines climbing them.

Boy, had to go back a couple of months to figure out what that post was about!

One of the many reasons that I don't play those computer games that require eye-hand coordination and split second timing.  My reflexes are a little slow.

Thanks to Shawn, Paul C. and Dave for spreading chips around the course yesterday.

Baskets have also been moved around so that some of the IOS #1 placements could be "preserved" for a little while. I think there are only about 5 holes that need to be changed.

It's supposed to be nice this week. If anyone is interested in playing on Tuesday or Wednesday send me an email or PM.

In the last 3 days 2 signs have been ripped off...    To replace these signs it will cost as much as a new basket...   It just sucks to put so much time to make this one of the better courses in the area and then people come and destoy it..   I have also noticed that a few of the baskets have been pushed around so that they are not straight now..

We are planning on putting another 18 holes in...  I'm starting to think that we can't even patrol the one we have so why bother...   Maybe we should just buy the baskets, put the anchors in and just put the baskets out there for events only, and pull it when the event is over..  

I am going to pursue for more police enforcement this summer out on the course..  They have bikes and ATV's... I'd really like to see some arrest for vandalism out here, as well as underage drinking...  There are trash cans on every hole out here, but some idiots just can't seem to put them in the trash cans... thing is these beer cans when we pick them up are still 1/4 to 1/2 full...  Do adults do this?  most likely not..

Skip this one.

Seems like everyone but me carries a cell phone. You may want to post the University Police phone number in a couple of places around the couse so anyone who sees some fool stealing signs or other wise being distuctive can call and report it.  Hopefully the police will respond.

This kind of stuff really sucks. I played Round Lake last night at 6:30PM. Garbage is everywhere. Someone has been breaking bottles near every basket. I painted over many baskets that had writing on them. One nice big "smoke weed" with a plant & another "F!@# You" around the band. Trees are getting broken down like crazy.  

[SERG]

Parkside also has seen many broken trees lately...especially in places that present no real obstacle to the basket.

One way to keep the "fair weather" golfer away might be to ticket their vehicles. No one wants to keep getting tickets.
