Re: Current Course Condtions
I haven't been out there since league last Thursday, but the course was in good shape (apart from the skeeters!)....however, if the hurricane gets near us between now & Saturday it might get a little muddy out there (at best!). If you're off Saturday & the storm doesn't come, you really ought to check out the Eberly Ranch tourney...that's where a lot of us will be if it doesn't get postponed because of Ike. It's up near Brenham and, like those cows say, a little piece of heaven....

Re: Current Course Condtions
We played the course the other weekend and it was in excellent shape. The skeeters were swarming around baskets 1-5 and 16 - 18 but the open baskets were fine. Bring Deep Woods Off! Even when it's a bit wet Jack Brooks is playable.

Re: Current Course Condtions
Birdshot was first responder today at Jack Brooks. Billy and I went by the 2004 entrance and it was locked so we went to the Hwy 6 entrance and got in. On #4 the big tree on the right of the basket had a big part of the trunk cracked and hanging down. Need that tree. On #6 part of the tree on the left side of the teebox is hanging down in front of the teebox. Don't need that tree, just out of the way. On #9 those 4 skinny trees guarding the basket are leaning way over to the left. Shame. The rest of the course is okay. Just had to do a lot of trimming and dragging. I do like the green carpet along the walkways and around the baskets. Its ready for league tomorrow.

Re: Current Course Condtions
As Chuck said, we did do a bit of trimming...I know Jake had said "DON'T DO IT!", but this was different. We weren't just trimming for the hell of it to open up a shot...we were trimming so you could walk (in the case of the woods holes) and then we did trim around a couple of baskets where branches were literally bent & hanging in front of the basket! The big tree in front of hole #4 will probably have to come down...too bad...that tree is part of what makes that hole challenging (apart from the sometimes mando through-the-woods drive). And the "octopus tree" guarding #9 is not so much of an octopus anymore. All in all though, the course is not in nearly as bad a shape as we thought it would be...I thought there would be downed trees everywhere, but it was mostly branches that were broken & hanging all over the place. If nobody made it out last Thursday because of evacuations & preparations, we'll talk tonight about making up that week instead of taking a drop...maybe we can play twice next week or something like that. See you guys out there this afternoon!

Re: Current Course Condtions
With the cooler weather the skeeters should have cleared out a bit. Still, bring two new cans of Deep Woods Off per person and you should be OK.
The course is in great shape. Not a lot of damage at all. Quote:

The entire course is cut, limbs removed, new baskets installed all over the place. This weekend is going to be fun. A heartfelt thanks to all that has helped get r done.
