Additional Work Day Details:
As
you probably know, we will be breaking ground on our new course this
weekend. We have a very busy couple of days planned and we wanted to
thank you in advance for donating your time and effort to our new
course!
We
will begin work each day at 9am and work until a lunch break around
noon. Lunch will be pizza/soda/water (BYO Beer) provided by Devens DGC.
We will also have some water/gatoraid for during the day as well. We
will resume work after lunch and work until around 5pm.
Meet in the usual parking lot and we will drive over to the work central area near new hole 3 (need trucks!)
If
you show up late, you can follow the new path that leads to the
existing course’s hole 4 tee and you will see us working in that area.
This path begins after the fence on old hole 1 and meanders up below 2
& 3. Follow the sweet sounds of chainsaw! You can also call us on
our cell phones – numbers below.
Things you can bring:
Work Gloves
Chainsaws
Pole saws
Hand saws
Loppers
Shovels
Picks
Rakes
PICK UP TRUCKS
The
focus of this weekend is to clear fairways. We will go over the
details of what should and should not be cleared on each hole before we
begin. During the day if you have questions, call Ken or Luke. A few
notes:
-
Please cut everything LOW TO THE GROUND. I know it’s a little more
difficult but its better than having to cut twice or having someone
trip and get impaled.
- We will be looking to border walkways between holes using the thinner trees we cut.
- Selected holes may use logs to mark a route from tee to green and also prevent hillside erosion.
-
Cut material wants to be dragged well off the fairways and left in a
natural deadfall state. We are not looking to create large deadfall
piles. No burning allowed.
- We may collect some cuttings into road accessible areas for later chipping – use around green and walkways.
-
The fairways are marked with red flags/tape. We are cutting everything
inside of the flags with the exception of trees with red tape. Most
anything outside the flags will stay unless directed otherwise. If
it’s questionable, ask Ken or Luke.
- We will try to create level areas for tees, all natural for now.
We
will be working on holes 1, 2, 3, 17 & 18. Once complete this will
make a nice 9 hole loop using holes 1-4 of old course or 23 hole course
using all 18 old holes! We plan on installing bucket targets and having
these holes "playable" by the end of the weekend.

Again, thank you!
