Just a small brag, i'm really proud of our course. For a long time, we had people that cared...but didn't care enough to really go out and get stuff done. Well, we have a new board president and alot of things are getting done now!

We're just a small 9-hole club, our tee signs are on plywood hanging by PVC pipe (if that paints a great picture I don't knwo what does!). 3 20-year old ball washers w/ towels that have no "cloth" left. Worn down flags, and used-to-be-black flag poles with the paint worn off. A beautiful, but old club house. And a REALLY old raggedy looking cart shed.

Well now, we've painted the cartshed, renovating the 150 year old locker room that nobody uses to a 19th hole hangout. Fresh coat of paint on the clubhouse. Built a new trophy case in the bar. Just ordered new set of flags and flag poles...got 3 fancy new ball washers (holy crap those are expensive...$750 for 3 ball washers? No mounting?!), and just ordered 9 new granite tee signs, all sponsored (my company sponsored the #1 tee!). We have a full calendar of tournaments, and finally got USGA rated. Even have scheduled the local district golf tournament here.

Just refreshing to have life back into a club that seemed to be drifting away.

that is awesome. quaint, little old courses can be the best because they exude character, even when worn down. DDBowdoin, what the OP's describing is reminding me of Leo J and Nehoiden!
