This is the time of the year when we do all of our tree work. In the December greens committee meeting we discussed our tree inventory on the course and decided to remove 10 trees that were either unhealthy or poor golf course trees. That could be because they drop debris, have a shallow root structure that takes water and nutrients from the desired turf, or causing shade and/or irrigation problems because of their growth type and location.

| Maple on #3 that is mostly wrotten and falling apart |
 |
| Sweetgum tree dropping debris |
 |
| Thorny gumballs from the tree - not ideal for a golf course |
 |
| Blocking irrigation and sunlight, paired with shallow roots and being a pine leads no turf under the tree |
We also limb up all the trees on the golf course.
After removal and limbing we then chip all the branches
Beginning tomorrow we will go out and grind all the stumps and sod the areas where the trees were.
