As you may or may not know, we’ve been working on creating a new ceremony site at the golf course. It all started last year, when the drought caused our ponds to go dry. With an empty pond, we decided to take advantage of it and build a peninsula that would double as a ceremony […]
Another Episode in the Saga of the Ceremony Site
In the next chapter of Days of our Ceremony Site Building Lives, we bring you another episode of Doug and his sidekick, Jordan. After digging the trenches to put in irrigation, the next step was to fill the trenches with electricity and speaker wire. You can read about the irrigation installation here. In order to […]
You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby.
My blogging efforts have been a little weak this week. See what I did there? Weak and week. Clever. I love the English language, don’t you? I’m sure you’re all waiting with bated breath wondering what could have possibly happened to Allison to prevent her from her daily blogging efforts. It turns out that she […]
New Tools Make Work Fun?
In 2011, we had a major overhaul to number two green. It was in some serious need of drainage. The east side of the green had all but died because of all the heavy rain we had in 2010 and the first part of 2011. We basically dug up the east side of the green […]
A Place to Rest
Our miniature golf course opened on June 30, 2004. I wasn’t there. Yep, that’s right. I missed opening day. I had a good reason, though. I was in the hospital having just given birth to my daughter the night before. I often wonder how I managed to find the time to have my daughter in […]
It’s Hammer Time!
When you ask a teenager to get up early in the morning to come to work, you are usually greeted by a few groans. Those groans suddenly become grins when they find out there will be a sledgehammer involved. I’m not sure how long ago we put up this fencing around the clubhouse area. If […]
The gods Must be Crazy!
Remember that movie? When the airline pilot dropped a Coke bottle out of the window of his airplane into a third world country. The tribe’s leader decided that the bottle had caused great harm and he set off to to throw the bottle off the edge of the earth. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI-WJtGC8dI] We think that someone must […]
Someone Call the Doctor! My Soil is Dead!!
Last year, we decided to take advantage of our drought and we built a peninsula where we plan to hold wedding ceremonies because our pond was dry and made it easy to get in there and move dirt around. Last month, we got the area prepped for seed. As it turns out, the only thing […]
Let the Playing Commence!
Menards sent us a rebate check, so you know us. We couldn’t let it burn a hole in our pocket. The show must go on, so we decided to add a play set to the miniature golf course. If you recall, on a rainy day in May, our boys had dug up some sod and […]
Meet Snappy Pete
While we were turning on the fountains at the miniature golf, we found an unusual critter hiding out under the bridge! Yes. That is a snapping turtle. We have many of them on the golf course, but none have ever made the long trek up to the minigolf. Most just hang out in the pond […]
