Adam, baskets are ready. I will pick them up on Thursday. Not sure when I'll be able to put them up, I don't know my schedule yet and the snow thing. Also it was cheaper than originally estimated, lots. Have you checked into getting new chain assembly for #1 and #3?

I plan on putting the shiny new baskets and chain assembly up this afternoon so the course will be ready for the weekend.  A big thanks to the club for paying for the regalvanizing.

Great, Thanks Fred for doing the work.

The baskets look really nice, all bright and shiny.
I would like to suggest that we all try and stay off any course the next week or so since they all are really saturated with all the snow thaw and now it looks like rain for the whole week. I know its hard not to go and throw a round but think of the damage we all do each time we play in these nasty conditions.
Times like these I go and throw in a soccer field and work on knocking the rust off and practice fundamentals,etc..

LoL, grounds cure themselves, not that's extremely funny.
I guess all that work the volunteers and park people do each year to keep the grounds looking nice is pointless and not necessary.
In that case we would have never lost the use of old holes 7 and 8. (pulled due to accelerated erosion due to foot traffic)

All I was getting at is think of the impact we all have, and try to make rational decisions to create positive outcome rather than a negative one.
On a personal note I see playing in bad weather conditions practically course abuse. And if I could I would close courses during extreme weather conditions, yet all our parks are freely open at any time and thus the responsibility relies on ourselves to make the right choice.

You all know by now that I am doing everything and anything that I can to make Mt.Airy the crown jewel of cincy courses. I can't, won't, or want to stop anyone from playing, I would just like to suggest we consider where and when we do.

thanks for posting.

lol you're welcome.
I didn't realize this was your site....nice job.

Fred, you gonna be there even if it's raining?

Let us know Adam. If they fit it in this weekend, I'll be there. Think I am also going to bring the wife.

As of today the weatherman is fairly sure the rain will hold off till after noon. We should be rain free for this event.

So far Jerry and a couple others have told me they will be there to help.
Please contact me if you plan on coming and help spread the word to those that don't know about the Clean-up.
I will be contacting the Park today to get the supplies we need for Saturday.
