| Lightning Damage |
Generally, any needed tree work on a golf course whether it’s pruning, thinning, or removal is completed during the winter when possible. With less member and guest use during the winter, it’s much safer to be doing tree work on the course. In addition, the use of heavy equipment is much easier on the turf while the ground is frozen.

| Turfgrass vs. Trees. Trees will always win the battle for sun and water... |
This week we begin selectively removing dead and severely decaying/damaged trees along with alleviating shade issues in high importance areas on the course. This approved tree work will encourage much healthier turfgrass, improved safety and aesthetics, and reduced in-season maintenance costs from storm damage clean-up.
The work is being done almost entirely in-house with current staff and resources.
We hope you and your families have a safe and enjoyable holiday and look forward to seeing you next year!
