PO Box 1847 Dear Mr. Mayor:
Bellevue, WA 98009
(206)455-9696 Enclosed you will find a letter from Mr. Bob Baldock,
the golf course Architect who designed and constructed
the Cherry Lane Course.
I felt that you and the City Council would be interested
in Mr. Baldock's comments regarding both the problems
that have arisen on the golf course and the present
maintenance program.
Let me direct your attention to the third from the
last paragraph, where he emphasizes that it is not
his intention to criticize, but to try to be as
helpful as possible.
Mr. Baldock is willing to spend 2 or 3 days in Boise
with the people leasing the golf course in order to
help them set up an appropriate maintenance program.
In a spirit of cooperation, Leavitt NuPacific will pay
for all of Mr. Baldock's travel and expenses during
that stay.
I would appreciate your discussing this proposal with
the members of the Council and of course, the Lessee's
of the course. If it is the consensus of opinion that
Mr. Baldock's presence could be helpful, please let me
know and we will make necessary arrangements.
As I have mentioned many times in the past, we have
a large vested interest in the future of the Cherry
Lane development and the golf course and we will

Dear Don,
On my visit to Boise last week, Gene Wright and I
looked over the Cherry Lane Golf Course. :de tried
to Vet ?ich Stanwood to go over the course with us
but he had a meeting to attend. ?de found the course
in better condition than on my last trip, but still
a long way to go.
The greens are young and tender and are literally be-
ing worn outwith the heavy triplex putting; green mower.
The fairways have dry spots; mostly due to ^lo',Dd
sr_.rini.ler nozzles.
Someone has been moving some of the snrinkl„rs around,
without proper training in fixed outlet irriEation.
The hand work on the course is not being done:
weeds around the edges of tees; high grass around posts,
trees, etc.
The sand traps need manicuring.
Some trel,,s have died and need replacing.
The improved lots around 7 green and 8 tee have block-
ed off the drainage in that area and two dry wells
need to be dug.
Several mounds need mulching and special attention.
Many of the ditches that were dug to replace pipe
