Stub Stewart Work Party - This weekend!!!! - Work Parties

Bullseye · #1 October 16th, 2012, 10:27 AM

Hey Peoples!!!

Mike Phillips is scheduling a work party at 9:00am this Saturday (10/20/12) to clean up the trees that Ranger Steve is cutting down this week at Stub Stewart. Steve is cutting down 4 trees each on the fairways of holes 15 & 16. Because the trees that he is cutting are pretty large we really need to go in there and remove the wood he is bucking. We will have the use of the gators, wheelbarrows and the one ton. This is going to be the last organized work party at Stub this year due to the rain that will be coming, so we are hoping for a good turn out so we can get as much done as possible.

Also on the agenda is the removal of the stump behind 15's tee pad and removing the choker chain on the fairway of hole 15. We will also have an eagle scout working on the installation of the remaining benches that go on the back 9 holes: holes 13-18.

The remaining work at Stub should be some chipping for the rangers, some building projects for certain greens & stairs on fairways which will be tackled next spring. We will also be installing the new tee signs some time this winter or early spring after the final placements are determined on Holes 12, 13, 14, 16, 17 & 18.

Weather looks like possible showers so dress accordingly. If there is interest after we are done to play doubles then I can organize that. I am hoping to bring some snacks and drinks for after the work party but I will need a head count so please email the group back saying whether you can make it or not.

In case it has been a while since you've been out there, due to a lot of hard work by Mike Phillips and a few other people, the course at Stub Stewart is really starting to come together.

Please consider coming out on Saturday to help us get all of this work done.

Wish I could make it. I'll be on a jetplane.

This course is really getting better and better. I can only suggest people help out and get this course even more playable.

After playing in the tournament at Stub Stewart couple weeks ago, few ODDGA members remarked that the course is starting to look good, and those who never play Stewart said that they really like this course.

Great job!! Many thanks to Stumptown and the awesome volunteers!!

Looking forward to a good turnout! It goes so much easier and we get so much more done with more golfers to help...hope to see you there!

Rain or shine its still a go.

A slight change in program tomorrow. Steve cut the trees but he really likes the look of the wood so he did not cut them into rounds but into segments. He is thinking we will definitely use the wood for building projects. What we will be doing is either stacking them off to the sides or get them down to the tee pads on 15 or the road on 16.

We will need to do some delimbing on the trees that were dropped and clean up those messes. The trees that were dropped were some large trees and had some large branches up high.

If you can make it out please come, even if its a little late. The more people we can get to show the cleaner the course will be on holes 15 and 16.
