DID you ever try to buy a sandbag? I had, I really did! I tried all over, hardware stores, sand and gravel yards, even Sears & Roebuck. No one could sell me any small sandbags. I needed them for our new club carrier deck which was going to be a sort of Sunday-sport arrangement. The design of the deck had been reduced to its simplest terms, two 8-ft. metal angles nailed onto a macadam parking lot. The arresting cables were to be polypropylene cord, very strong and easily obtainable from the hardware store, as were the 6-in. nails that would anchor the metal angles. The carrier deck had to be light, easily transportable and easily set up. Everything was working out great.
