Annual Tree Trimming

Thursday we started pruning trees. Over the last few years we have made our way through the entire golf course pruning. This year we are revisiting areas we trimmed the first year. We pruned trees down the right hand side of #6 fairway. We trimmed along the cart path on # 7 and to the left of the fairway. Some other holes we will be going to next week will be numbers 9, 10, 11, and 12.

I would like to clear that we are currently not removing any trees. We are only lifting up canopies for two reasons. The first to help promote better air flow for healthier turf. This is something I know many of you have heard from me before. The second reason for some of our pruning cuts is to help with playability and shot making. A good example of this you can check out this weekend is the tree by the bunkers in # 7 fairway. Hopefully the pruning there will allow for a bail out shot underneath that tree.
