| Yeah, I just heard the same. Now where the hell are we going
to be able to drink? Seriously, I hope they can get something up
before the summer. If there are any members of ACC that follow this
conference, keep us posted as to what will be done. The DEC - MKO/ZKO
league was scheduled to start our season there in the end of April.
I would presume the course would be open for play during the summer,
but you never know depending on how all the equipment fared, ie
mowers, carts, etc.
My high school class reunion was scheduled for one of the banquet
halls in July, too. Geez.

| Last night's Ch.9 news said ALL the equipment was fried. Carst,
Mowers, Pins, etc.
Maybe they can get some more before the season opens.

| re: .2
I don't think that's correct. I was out at ACC on Saturday. They had pins
out on the greens and they had a number of carts being stored on the tennis
courts. Does anyone know where they store the mowers?
BTW: Last night's paper stated that the damage was at least 1/2 M$ and that
the owner pledged to rebuild the 20 year old clubhouse. That would imply
that they plan to open ASAP (they certainly need the revenue).

| I'm going to take a scoot over during lunchtime and see what
is left of the 19th hole. I sure hope something is done to get things
going there. My league starts at the end of April. Hope they had
good insurance coverage.......

| 225.5 | Char-broiled building | WORDS::NISKALA | In sheep dip... | Wed Mar 16 1988 12:34 | 13 |
| What a mess. It looks like the fire started in the rear of
the building and worked its way forward. The front is still standing
but everything has collapsed in elsewhere. It looks like most of
the carts were stored on the tennis courts, and I think most of
the maintenance equipment was in the building in the back, off to
the side. This building was okay. There were a couple of carts that
were in the rear of the building, and they're fried. Down the tubes
goes the 19th hole, the pro shop, and the banquet halls.
ps The flags are on all of the greens, some snow remains on the
fairways, but the greens are clear.
Down to the cape to play this weekend. Bye

| 225.6 | All weather flags!! | AKOV13::SANSING | Is it ice OUT yet? | Fri Mar 18 1988 12:49 | 7 |
| The reason the flags are in the holes is because the groundskeepers
never took them out for the winter!!!! Amherst has always been one
of the worst kept courses in the state!!!
For me it will be Green meadow #2 or Buckmeadow this season.

| I played at Amherst Saturday. They had a tent by the tennis court.
There was a bulldozer working on the clubhouse.

| The green fees were $16.50. The weathermen had predicted sunny skys
for last Saturday. After the tee shot on number 1 the rain coat
and umbrellas came out. After the second hole I had the hole rain
suit on. The other three guys didn't have rain suits and were so
soaked that we left after nine holes.
There was some snow in the fairway on # 4, but otherwise everything
else was green. We used all the regular greens on the front side.
They said they were using a tempory green on the 12th. Wish I could
have seen it.

What else is new for the 12th??? That green takes about 3 months
to get in shape.

| 225.11 | I hate the 12th, my push puts me on the banking | WORDS::NISKALA | Golf fever...catch it!! | Thu Mar 31 1988 13:44 | 8 |
| The 12th takes 3 months to become useable. It never seems to
be in shape, there are always winter burn spots on that green. No
wonder why it's rated the toughest hole (hdcp 2) on the back side,
it's a 3-putt green. At least this year the course hasn't been washed
away like last year during the April floods. Oops, it's not April
yet.
