Thanks Lynn

So as you guys can all see, what I got and what Lynn set up ....well, there is a huge difference.

The green color that I wanted, the grass texture, the shadowing of trampled worn grass in some areas...

None of it came through

Default I Can Help

I can have my guy print it, laminate it and you spray adhesive tack to your field and put it in place. LMK.

Thanks for the offer Bro. Right now, my wallet is reeling a little bit. I'm gonna sit tight for a while. But I'll keep you in mind if I ever decide to change it out.

I've got this big dilemma on my hands now.

Looks vs. Performance.

I am afraid to mess with the cover as it plays so well right now. I am afraid by putting some sort of cover on the top of it I will lose the performance I now have.

Default OK

But my intention was that you take that one off and put down a new, reusable one, or two, ala your ALL-VIKINGS!?! I'll have WW send my the file and I'll do it for a future trade or something. ANYTHING for a fellow SOLDIER! We definitely gotta get a Commander's Cup Tourney going every year. I know of 3 SOLDIERS and one SAILOR, 2 JARHEADS and zero FLYBOYS. I need a reason to play on my new field!

Anyway, I served 1989-1994, including Desert SHield/Storm and did 2 years in the GREATEST beer country in the world, GERMANY! I had a 15-20 man ARMY EFL in Fort Sill, Oklahoma before the Storm, and put it away until Miggle #3 at the Chicago Hyatt. How about you?

Well, that would be awesome and awful nice of you Brother.

I have the utmost respect for you and your military background. I unfortunately never served. My father was an MP in Korea during the Korean War right near the front. He is extremely active in the VFW to this day. I grew up in a VERY patriotic household.

When we were kids, late 1960s/early 1970s, (I grew up in New Jersey), my Dad would take me and my two older brothers up to West Point to see Army football at least a couple of times every year.

My Dad, born in 1931, was a huge fan, when HE was a kid, THE TEAM that he constantly bragged about was the Army football teams of the 1940s. I have a lot of warm memories of long drives up the Hudson, and my Dad telling us about the great teams of Red Blaik.

When I found out that the boys down here in South Carolina play with college teams, well, it was a no brainer....1945 Army here I come.

You have a nice field. I like the chalk style gridiron.

Who made your goalposts? Did you make them? Can you give me some tips on how to make them? LMK

I made the goalposts after seeing the awesome work of Butch Carter up close and personal. I would be happy to walk you through the steps. Call me anytime. 843-822-5280.

Default Please send me a PM on how make the goalposts

Since you live in South Carolina (SC is South Carolina, right?) and I live in California, perhaps you could send me instructions in a PM. I appreciate your help. My wife might get suspicious if she looks at our phone bill and see calls made to SC. Then I would be in the dog house.
