Maybe Skizzle has more info, but I heard that the city had indeed already bought the baskets, but clean up and installation was still getting going. I have sent out a PM to gather more info. I will post it up.
There are a couple other pretty exciting propositions, well into the works near me here in SE Michigan. I am hoping to see some movement on these before the end of the year, as well.
Sounds like Nash is indeed going in by Sunday. They are starting to put in baskets and pour pads this weekend.
Workday clean up on the Foz at Rolling Hills on Nov 19th. It will be nice getting this course put into a better playable condition.

It will be 9 baskets with a short and long for each hole.
A little bit of a mix between old growth park golf and some wooded technical shots. The holes I had influence over are challenging for a park setting. Multiple holes in the 400' range. Sunday they are installing baskets and doing the last bit of clearing.
Thanks for the help getting the course designed and having a hand in providing this particular area with options. Thanks again for letting us here know. :clap::clap:
You are THEY!!

Just saw a post on DGS about this. Seriously considering driving over to pitch in. How 'bout you, buddy?

Sounds like a good idea!
< wants to be a THEY.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Still have several gardening type tools in my garage, just waiting for the next chance. :clap:
Got it marked on the calendar. Squeeze in a round on OG or the Foz and make an afternoon out of it. :thmbup:

Just added it to the calendar too.
Workday for Nash Park in Livonia. Putting in the baskets, trimming some trees and clearing some brush. I realize that many here don't really live near Livonia, but thought it interesting anyway.

Hmm. Probably won't make this one. But who knows?
The Rolling Hills time frame is in conjunction with not having to work on Monday because of taking vacation.

Today's work day at Nash Park went well, mostly because it was organized. The person who headed up the project set up three teams with clear objectives in mind:
One team dedicated to clearing brush and limbs, and making sure fairways are clear.
A 2nd digging holes for baskets.
A 3rd for assembling, installing, and levelling the baskets.
Everyone understood what they needed to do.
At this point, the tees are just flags in the ground, to see if anything needs to be tweaked going forward, but all 9 baskets got installed today.
Terrain is flat, but I liked what I saw in terms of having several well-wooded, shot shaping holes, with a few holes that are relatively open with just a few trees to avoid. I don't think it'll be the most beginner friendly course, but I don't think it'll be too intimidating, either.

Also played another new niner this morning: Veterans Park, in Warren, MI. Typical park style niner, with nothing out of the ordinary. Not sure why it's not showing up on DGCR yet, because I added it this morning. I think Tim still has to bless new listings, to make sure they're legit, or not already listed.

Veteran's Memorial Park, in Warren, MI.
Quintessential park-style niner with large, level concrete tees and decent signage. 7 holes are basically wide open, with 2 moderately wooded holes.

Will snow on the ground cancel this event? We're getting hit pretty hard here in GR today, probably 2 inches at this point already. GRRRRRRR!!!
Nope. It looks like we will get rain or just a dusting here, between now and the weekend. It is supposed to be pretty chilly though.

Good work today! :hfive:
No doubt our efforts will make for more enjoyable rounds.

Hot shower felt so good after clearing out all that brushy crap.

Got 9 holes on the Meadows Course (The Foz) cleaned up. The course was really left unfinished, after initial installation. Tee pads, baskets and hole markers are in, but some pads literally faced a wall of shule and trees. We really opened up a few holes and pads, making technical, but fair lines to play.
Bogey is a beast. I am sure I heard brush crying out loud, at the sight of him and a pair of loppers.
