Hi All,

Jared has a really good point. I haven't played lately b/c the fields
were in really rough shape the last time I was out. Although the
grass grows all year, it can't repair ruts and divots without some
labor-intensive and pricey help.

The j-4 turf fields are available for free on a drop-in basis, or may
be reserved for $20/hr, i think. That's another option to keep in
mind.
