Adam and Myself worked on the course signs today, since people still keep ripping them off the trees. All but two signs now have plexiglass and 4″ lag bolts. The other two will be finished next week. Also, Under the rules sign there is now a full course map.
I am also still hearing that sometime in the next year or two our website designer is going to make this page worth looking at. Just as soon as he finds a way to loosen up his schedule.

It has been quite a while since any news has been posted up, so i figured I would give everyone a little update on the course.
We are in the process of scheduling a work weekend to get textboxes built and installed. This will include 4X4 frames filled with crushed stone. We are also in the process of getting the rest of the permanent tee signs put together an installed.
Keep checking back for more news and updates.
Also there has been a rumor floating around that this page is going to be getting a fresh new look SOON, so keep watching for that.

Contrary to the actual Old Home Week schedule the demo day will be held on August 3rd, from 11am -1pm as stated in the original article in the FC News. The demonstrations will be held on the upper soccer field due to the fact that the cow plop bingo is going to be utilizing the space next to the gazebo. We will be making another announcement about this during the Pierogi Eating contest on Saturday afternoon. As stated there will be throwing demonstration, putting demonstration, and instruction on how the game is played. We also have free discs to give away.

Do to the constant destruction of tee signs #2 and #9 we used to some new mounting methods. The laminated signs are now sandwiched between 1/2″ plywood and 1/4″ plexiglas and secured to the trees with 4″ lag bolts. We have more plexigas on order to make frames for the signs.

I have had the opportunity to play the course with a few different people over the past few weeks and I like the responses I am hearing. People really enjoy the tight untamed woods holes, because they really give a feel for the area of the surrounding town, and they like the ease of the more open field holes. It’s just a fun time. I have been playing the course quite a bit and as far as I know the Lowest 9 hole score is 23 (-4) and the lowest 18 hole score is a 51 (-3). If anyone has interest in coming to play the course feel free to contact me through this site, I live only minutes away.
On a side note, we are still having some trouble with tee signs #2 and #9 being taken down or destroyed. I did happen to catch two girls taking one down while I was playing but they ran as soon as I yelled at them. Within the next week this problem should be solved as new signs are on the way and we have some wood and plexiglas frames to bolt to the trees.

More clearing was done today. Me and my buddy Josh wandered into the woods armed with a pole pruner, lopping shears, and a bow saw. We cleared some over hang on hole #2 along with a few things on the sides though more could still be done. On hole #3 we cleared more on the sides so that it’s a bit more fair and you can actually play out of the rough. Hole #4 needed and still needs the most work. We cleared out small stuff about 15 back on the right side of the fairway, the left side still needs work.

The final 4 baskets went in today and all 9 holes are now playable. All the holes now have new tee signs with all of our sponsors and all tees are marked with orange painted 4×4’s. At the entrance to the course is a brief rules sign explaining how the game is to be played. We will be on the course tomorrow to play through all the holes a few times and do any adjusting we need too.
