The title of the thread gives a subtle hint as to what might be discussed here.

Anyways, I spent a few hours ripping blackberries out by their brawny roots from the #5 short hill. I gathered much fallen wood in the process, and found a unique use for it.

I started to build a "disc dam" along the perimeter of the hill bordering #6 fairway, in an effort to keep roll-away putts off of hole 6. Any putt that shanks and rolls down the hill will be stopped by the disc dam, but the comeback putt will entail 2 shots for 80% of players who wind up there.

I did this with the upcoming Open in mind, to keep people moving in that area of play. When you're out there next (Gill, Edge, Brian, whoever) take a good look and see if it makes sense, is an eyesore, makes 5 too much easier, etc.

Speaking of 5 (long), should we get rid of all the fenceline blackberries? I can't decide if I care enough about them.

Keep this thread alive, and keep Lakewood looking gorgeous, like our little Emerald in the Rough. The rough being White Center, of course. (Why is the nicest course always in the worst neighborhood i.e. Pier?)
