Open dates @ Four Mound - Page 10 - Four Mound

Gordy #21004 · #**181** March 19th, 2011, 07:37 PM

It took me till Thursday to recover from the three rounds last weekend. I left a bunch of shots out there besides. I'm going to go out and look for them starting @ 10:30. .....Some of the baskets that were set over frozen snow were crooked by tournament time and still need leveling. Many of the pads and rugs need to be rolled back, re-raked, re-set or replaced. It's time to start getting ready for the big tourney over Memorial Day. $5/car.

Gordy, I left a yellow Echo Teebird on Handicap #1.
It is half way down the fairway on the right, half way up a pine tree.
Mind seeing if it is still around?

Gordy #21004 · #**183** March 20th, 2011, 09:49 PM

I'll cruise by there tomorrow.

Sean Johnson · #**184** March 26th, 2011, 10:11 PM

Will you be open tomorrow? How are the conditions out there?

.......Whatever time it is right now I'll be out there in about an hour......All the snow is gone from the tees. There is lots of standing water; please park at Tourney Central. Come on out! Gordy.

Just checking to see if your going to be open on Sunday. I have a couple of friends that really want to test themselves and I still need revenge for my terrible performance at the last tourney.

Gordy #21004 · #**187** April 2nd, 2011, 04:28 AM

It's greening up nice and fast. You'll like it a lot. Snow is gone; many lakes. I still need to go by Hawk #1 and look for Shreck's disc up a pine tree halfway up on the right......I'll be collecting some timbers to use for erosion control at Downriver and may also be bucking out some large rounds to use for seating around the Tourney Central area at DR. Don't for get to get signed up for the DRO as soon as possible.

Esatchel Bantastic · #**188** April 2nd, 2011, 09:05 AM

so is four mounds open tomorrow? i really want to practice on a tough course before the DRO.

Gordy #21004 · #**189** April 2nd, 2011, 07:12 PM

Gordy #21004 · #**190** April 7th, 2011, 10:37 PM

Sorry, try again next weekend. Gordy

Wish me luck at the DRO

Hey Gordy will four mounds be open on Sunday? Been too long since I hurled something off cape fear.

(Is this still the best place to figure out open/close dates for four mounds?)

Thanks!

Gordy #21004 · #**192** April 16th, 2011, 10:25 PM

Yes and yes. I plan to have the gate open by 10:15. All the courses are up and playable. The grounds are coloring up nicely. I'm turning my attention to tuning up the tees, the holes and the signage for the upcoming LCO. Having some players out on the links will only help to keep things in perspective. Be glad to have you.

littlevahn · #**193** April 17th, 2011, 09:16 AM

I think me and a few buddies might be coming out as well today

littlevahn · #**194** April 17th, 2011, 07:02 PM

Ended up going to Corbin instead. Hope you guys weren't waiting around.

Wobbly Bob · #**195** April 18th, 2011, 06:28 AM

No waiting, I just went out and hung around with Gordy. Helped tidy up a little bit and just enjoyed the day. Looked at a few changes to Jumanji for the LCO.

Unlike last year the the Porcupine 13 will be much more of a challenge for the Intermediate players. They will be playing on part of the Final 10 Pro Course.

Interesting, and I already had problems getting a decent score out there

As an AM2 player, this is great news for me. The only drawback to last year's event was the huge backups that we had, and if there are extra holes to better spread the players out, then that should go a long way in correcting the problem.

PS- I was just wondering why some people think that Porcupine is the easier of the courses? I think that Hawk is easier by a fair margin, and I personally would rather play Cape Fear than to take on that spiky bastard again. Love 'em all though, and as they say: the checks in the mail Bob!

Whoever said Porcupine was easier than the Hawk hasn't played the courses or did really bad on Hawk and really good on the Porcupine.

In defense of the Hawk I have seen it become more challenging every year. Holes #1, #2, #11 #13, #14 have all been changed over the years and the course is better for it.

Gordy #21004 · #**199** April 24th, 2011, 10:08 AM

Its only 10:00 now and I'm up already. We're having a big breakfast and Mimosas. We're bringing fixins for lunch and plan to have the gate open by noon. It looks like a beautiful day so far so come on up and check it out. $5/car. Pack it in , pack it out. Gor.

Simmeltron · #**200** April 25th, 2011, 05:03 PM

Hi Gordy,
Made it out yesterday with a couple friends for the first time. I am in love.

hahaha...

Anyways, we attempted to navigate I believe Hawk (the "easy" course) but lost our way on hole 11 or 12 (one of the long boys running along the ridge and underneath the huge powerlines). I was wondering... is there a course map available or even GPS coordinates of the courses that I could get a hold of? I can't wait to come out and play again soon but we could definitely benefit from a map (or tour guide

).

Thanks for making such an amazing DG wonderland!!
