We lost all of our snow over the weekend due to the warm weather we had. Now with temperatures going back down below freezing we should see the ground re-freeze and our outdoor work will be back in full swing. Today, with the ground still soft, we were limited in where we could go, but were able to take down the Oak on #12 tee that has been dying for several years due to a vascular disease. We have been watching this tree for several years and decided this summer that we would finally take it out this winter. As you can see in the picture, it was nearly void of leaves this past year and several branches were beginning to rot.
We will also be taking down a medium sized Ash tree on the opposite side of the #12 tee. The absence of these two trees will allow for more sunlight on the tee provide for a more open tee shot. Their absense should also help improve turf quality and lessen the impact of earthworms on the tee.
