Winter tree work

Every winter we take down trees for many different reasons. We remove them if they are dead or diseased, if they pose a hazard to safety, or if turf conditions could improve with removal without changing the way the hole is supposed to be played. The amount of trees we remove always depend on weather and first priority. This year we are removing many trees that fall into these categories. Many pictures will follow of our progress. Here is a good article regarding trees on golf courses from the USGA.
