Tree work

Over the summer months, we are able to observe which trees on the property need to be taken down. We look at safety, health of the tree, health of trees around them, health of the Turfgrass, playability and other factors. We mark trees that are dead while leaves are still around and also mark trees that are safety hazards. We had a big storm this summer that exposed trees that were still alive, but had become dangerous and prone to fall. We look closely for those trees so we don't put ourselves in a situation where we have to affect play with trees that fall across playable areas in the golfing months. Here are some pictures of some trees we have already removed for those factors.
#11 Weiskopf (3 dead trees removed in front of tees)
