Tree Removals

A few hazardous and unhealthy trees needed to be removed this fall.  Probably the most noticeable are three large willows next to the pond on 6.  The willow trees were around 30-40 years old.  After 30-40 years these trees served their purpose.  Willows are a short lived trees and these particular trees had a great degree of rot and decay throughout their structures.  

 Before

After-We now have a great view of the 7th hole.

Below is a photo of a Green ash on the hillside left of the 5th tee.  It's quite obvious this tree needed to be removed before it unexpectedly falls.

Covering Greens

The golf course closed yesterday.  Today we will begin the process of covering greens.  This morning we have frost so the staff will not be able to begin the process until the frost lifts.  If the wind stays light we should be able to cover half the greens today and the other half on Friday. Next week tree trimming and tree removals will begin as well as landscape work to the front drive as well as finish clean-up of a few gardens.
