I arrived at 7am (yes..a bit early). I figured I would play a few holes to get the layout of the course, and also to stay warm. It was about 20degrees with steady 20-30 mile an hour wind.



I played the first few holes and headed back to the car to put a different hat on. I bumped into Jeff and Corey and we decided to play a few holes. 13 holes later it was about 8:30am and we headed back to the registration table. By then everyone was there and the parking lot/area was full.

Dave and his daughter were at the registration table and folks began checking in.


Here is a picture of me, it may look like a smile, but truly it is me laughing..about how the #$@#! I am going to Drive into 30+ headwinds!

Wickham Park - Is that a Zen Garden?

Evening out the crushed stone before the pad gets put on.

Stretching

Found a couple of good videos out there. I will continue to edit this post as I find more good/safe example of stretching.

I did the above and it actually did feel pretty good. I may make it part of my pre/post play routine.

Wickham Park - Charlie Browns Enormous HEAD!

Hey ..is that Charlie Brown!...LOL

Nope..that is me getting ready for the BobCat to drop off some more stone!

Wickham Park - How many LiCks does it take to get to the center of a Tee Pad?

Of course the answer is one!

Everyone put some muscle into getting the Tee Pad constructed.

Andy is getting Sledge Hammer out...... Everyone RUN! LiCk inspecting the Rebarb.... and Phil ready to give a lending FOOT to step on the 6x6... Yes..it was (sledge) Hammer Time!

Wickham Park - The Duff-ster getting his Auger On

Enhancing the Tee Pad on the Skyview Hole. Raised it up and added some drainage canals.

.... $#@! auger...almost took off my finger!

Wickham Park - The Trail that Sweat Made

This is half way up the path as you walk to Tee Pad for Hole #8

This is about half way up the new path from the Alternate Basket location for Hole #7 (looking back at alternate basket for #7)

Okay - so the LiCk minions took a mountain and made it a mole hill...and YES I actually did some work and just did not take pictures with my Cell Phone :)

Phil, Andy and Pete look at me in amazement on how I did this all by myself...LOL

This is where the path comes out behind Tee Pad for Hole #8.

Wickham Park - Creating a Trail

A group of us (Phil, Andy, and Pete) aka "LiCk's Minions" all worked together to make this totally awesome trail LOL
