Help needed!

The work continues on our 18 hole Championship Tournament Course at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds and Events Center. Nine holes are up and running with concrete tee pads and DGA Mach V baskets. The nine newest holes for the course have been groomed and plans were made to pour concrete pads on Saturday morning, March 28th, 2009.  Unfortunately, we were rained out.  Rescheduling this project is nearly impossible, because County equipment needed to transport materials is not available.  Now we are looking at doing one teepad at a time.  Volunteers are needed for this labor intensive job!  If you enjoy the teepads at NAD, please consider doing your part to help.

We're still hoping for a grand opening of the course in late May or early June.

Come and play random doubles:

Saturday mornings, N.A.D., 9:00 am

Sunday mornings, Fairgrounds, 9:00 am

Wednesday evenings, Fairgrounds, 5:30 pm done for the season

The next WSDGA Board of Directors meeting will be held on Friday, March 26, 2010 at 5:00 pm.
