Eighteen playas out for a mild, breezy eve of dg. Sunny, temps around 71, and winds from the NE at 13 is how it was.

No ACE hit, so with 17 getting in the fund increases to $617. As the Summer approaches, look for more challenging pin placements in the next few weeks so a grandmaster doesn't have the short course advantage.....

Something really needs to be done about the poison ivy on 13...

doesn't really make it appealing to play if even the fairway is covered with the stuff and good shots don't prevent you from getting it.

Isn't there something the city could spray to kill that stuff?

[jamidanger]

there is no poison ivy at cliff drive, for your information.

[Cooper]

I doubt that is the case...

and, even if it were, CD is 20 miles further from home than PC.

I'll talk to the city bout ivy irradication.

Most of the time cities will not bring in eradication of ivy, but you may be able to conduct a workday with herbicides to help defray it.

[TPalmer]

How 'bout some more clearing of 13 while we're eradicating the poison ivy?  Or what about a second pin placement?   

[Tom]

 The City responded to me concerning Poison Ivy. They siad they will try to kill some of it.
 
 We can/will put in an additional pin(s) on 13. It may be a little later in the year because cutting in fairways in hot, wet, humid, tick infested conditions is a task best suited for after a freeze or two. At some point this Summer though, I would like to get everyone out for a workday with weedeaters and clear out the corner of the pond, and an earlier landing zone along the pond so the pond placement isn't so harsh to those who don't want to risk going over the water.

[Cooper]

Thanks Tom!

It is one thing when you kind of deserve it and are in the woods but it is something entirely different when it literally fills the fairway and you MUST play through it.

The City just informed me they will be spraying for ivy eradication today on 12, 13, and 14, and will be monitoring it this Summer to try to get it dead, dead, dead. 

[Cooper]

Excellent!

Great news TomCat!
