We're putting steps in on #4 tomorrow. That would be Leo, Twan, & Dave K. & me.It could be labor intent, & perhaps we could use some back up. I know it's not much notice, but if you're out, check it out. 09:30 start time.
What a stroke of luck that Shawn McCarthy led the message board yesterday. He is extremely good help, & we teamed up to work on the steps. A job well done by Leo, Dave, & Twan.
That sounds amazin frank! But if hole 4 open early or not. Its still looking fantastic. But if there's ever a day you need help, i can bring some big guns down there to channy and help you with whatever you like. Just let me know frank.
That would be Great Mike, I need your phone #. On 4, it overdosed on fertilizer, & the rain we got was huge. Mother Nature helped out this time.

From what it looked like before to what I seen Sunday when I played at the picnic. I took a moment to just take it in on how well it looked. I mean I just stood there to just take in the good hard work you've done and I must say what a job Frank! That course just keeps getting better and better. To think what your gonna come up with next has got me very anxious. So, I just wanted to take this chance to thank you, so Thank You Frank.
Thank you very much.

Thanks Mike, it's very nice you noticed & then said something. It may be open a tad early, so we'll see how it wears. The next big project I'd like to do is make #6 an island with water in front, like on #2.
Have the doctors looked at menopause for the hot flashes? Ha. Just kidding. Glad to hear that you're keeping your spirits up.
On a side note, I have an update for you with my dad's prostate cancer. 6 1/2 months ago his PSA had skyrocketed to 29.5. The proctologist put him on a chemo pill, bicalutamide or something. Last week he was tested again and his PSA is now 0.25!! I guess the stuff is working. Although it seems to be messing with his hormones as well. It seems the chemo messesup testosterone levels. But he is ecstatic at the PSA. Keep trucking on!!!
Thanks Tafe, it is a battle. Great news for your Dad!!!Part of what the hormone treatments did was take away my testosterone & my body hasn't replaced it. Because of the nature of my cancer I can't take anything to replace it. So, I'm a bitch with mood swings & hot flashes. That's OK, so far I'm wining the battles.
Friday,June 7th, that's almost two weeks, I'd like to do as small retaining wall, with treated 6x6, behind #15 tee & then start on clearing out the erosion on the steps.
Shawn Harmon & Shawn McCarthy are helping tomorrow. Anyone is welcome, 9:00am Lockport, then we're going to Highland.
It took longer than I thought, but we got er dun! Shawn McCarthy was huge, among other things, he carried the 6"x8" x 8' composite timbers, up 43 or so steps by himself!!! Those suckers are heavy! As usual, Shawn Harmon is always good help. We also did the steps on #13.
After 3 months, I finally met with the neurosurgeon, that was May 23rd. He sent me to Loyola, & I met that neurosurgeon June 4th. This is the 3rd most common brain tumor & only a 2-3 hr. surgery with 2-3 days recovery. He said some brain surgeries can be 18 to 24 hrs. He also said they meet with other Dr's. like the endocrinologist (endo), radiologist & discuss each case. Surgery may not be needed, but this is the short story of what we talked about. The next test for the cancer is coming up. This will be the first full cycle without hormone treatments.

The winter league picnic is this Sunday at Channahon. Unfortunately I can't be here. Look for #4 to be open. I hope to do that Saturday, so look for the bag to be on the temporary basket.

We have our first donation/sponsor, and it's none other than (drum roll please......)
Frank Grimes!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Frank for getting it started. I very much appreciate it! I'll be mailing you a letter from the ABTA that you can use at tax time to keep "the man" off your back.
To everyone else - I'm hoping to get item donations as well, so if you've got some collector plastic just sitting around, or basically anything that a disc golfer might cherish as a CTP prize, or for the raffle, please don't hesitate to donate it to this good cause. I'm hoping to have 20 CTPs for the second round that players can buy into for $3 each, or all in for $25-$35 depending on what items we get.
And, of course, we can always use cash donations (ie: checks made out to the ABTA).
You are welcome, I hope it works out well. I know what effort it takes to raise money.
I am, of course, looking for both cash and item donations for this tournament. Cash donations will go directly to the American Brain Tumor Association. Item donations will be used for special second round CTPs, and if we get enough of them I'll have a raffle as well. I've attached a Powerpoint flyer that you can use to get donations if you are so kind.
Can a donation be mailed in? A check mailed to American Brain Tumor Association?
