Great success! Rescheduled workday improvement project had 35 persons turn out! Got tons of brush moved, got tee pad installed on hole 1, got lots of trash picked up, had local business sponsors, raffles prizes (Nate W. got an ace on hole 1 with his raffle prize disc!). Got lots and lots and lots of happy feelings!

Got some 'next hole that way' signs up, got a lot more branches cut down on fairways (especially 11), and got a lot of stumps out of fairways (especially 7 & 9), and virtually slaughtered multiple forest nymphs to clear out sketch woods around 10. Got hole 1's newly designed sign back from designer and ready for first printing
