Last week, we submitted our Request List for future course improvements to city park staff.
Asked for:
*About 40-50 trees. Some for teepad shade, some to define fairways.
*Concrete tee pads. Works out to be a a total of 35.
* About 12 more park benches (some for red tees, too)
*A few more "Eagle Scout" benches
*Permission to install a bulliten board.
* Wood chips on paths and worn tee areas
* Help with cutting back the shule with a bushhog.
Here is where it stands for now:
The first 3 items involve park budget. Since we have already spent the bucks allocated for this year on the installation -- there is no more money for these items. Not a real surpise. At least we are on record for our request.
I'm am sure the club will have some discussions about raising $ on our own for these items, but the club financials are in the red about $500 already. It's rather easy for folks on the outside to expect tee pads, etc. , but I will continue to ask them to join us on the inside. We all started in the "mailroom" working our butts off. Still hiring.
The last 4 items are in the works now. Should get some bushhogging today and tomorrow. I think you will like the result.
Wood chips are on the way. Eagle benches will happen, just don't know when. Will try to get the BB installed soon.
Thanks,
Ron
