Default Can we say "Cement Tee Pads"?
Hey all, great news!! Last Friday afternoon I was notified by the WCVA grant committee that we got our grant to put in cement tee pads on both the old Canyon course and the new course we're building, plus proffesional signage for all the courses! Woo hoo!! I haven't heard from Mike Phillips if Stub got their grant too, but I would imagine they did, so we're going to really have some top courses out here on the west side!!

"Zumint thee bads"... damn, no, apparently I can't say it.

Congratulations! Will you have enough $$ to also install alternate (amateur) pads on course #3?

Currently we did not budget for that, we were just looking to get cement and signage in on both courses, (and signage in on the short course) though the alteranates can come with time

Bob-
That is fantastic! Once again, great job, and thank you so much for all your hard work to create these terrific courses for us. I'm so glad those with the dough agree.

For a rough draft, you could just use the logs and gravel from the existing Canyon teepads.

Right now we're lloking at the third course being open at about mid August, and right after that we willalso be pouring the cement for the current course, so everything should be done by the first of September. These are all conservative estimates, so things might move faster

Good point. There are lots of experienced teepad pourers around these parts.

I showed this to Matthew over the weekend. He gave a big fist pump and said "Yesssssss!"

(I agree).

Just to answer Bob's original question, "Can we say 'cement tee pads?'" Well, yes we could but we shouldn't.

I assume you will be pouring the tee pads with concrete which is a mixture of cement, water, aggregate (sand, rock, etc.) and other lesser ingredients (chemical admixtures).

Sorry to get all technical on you but you asked. Remember cement is an ingredient in concrete.

I stand corrected. I'm assuming that you're either a teacher or in the noble proffesion of mud pouring (i.e.concrete)?
