The two dead Black Walnut trees on the first hole have been taken down. As seen in the first picture, these trees were both long past their prime and starting to decay. When these trees were dropped the tops exploded as they were very dead and very dry. These trees coming down has really changed the landscape of this golf hole. We are waiting to remove the large pieces of these trees until the ground is frozen and we can get large equipment to this area. We have removed the smaller pieces of this tree with smaller equipment.
You may also notice the 'crown cleaning' of the Willow Oaks behind the clubhouse has been completed. Dead wood and excess weight have been removed to prolong the life of these trees. Enjoy the warm temperatures this afternoon as it looks to get cold again tomorrow.
