Course Update 1/31/21

We were able to work outside 4 days last week and finished clearing at the beginning of the fairway on Grove 1.  We then proceeded to clean up dead trees and other undesirable vegetation along the retention pond left of Grove 1 fairway.  We finished the week by starting to remove the group of Poplar trees along the guard rail on Grove 2 near the gold and blue tees.  The snow storm moving thru today will delay us a day or two, but work will resume on Grove 2 as soon as we can safely get to the area with our equipment.

The overgrown mess near the beginning of Grove 1 fairway.

Here's the same area on Grove 1 after removing the unwanted vegetation.  We now have full access to the irrigation satellite box, and the rough in this area will be much better from increased sunlight and less competition from the trees and brush.

Here's a view of Grove 1 from the white tee.  We kept the large Oak tree on the corner because it's in good health, but removed numerous trees and related brush to the right of it to allow full view of the fairway.  We'll monitor this area throughout the season and determine if additional trees need to be removed to further improve sight lines.

Looking back towards the beginning of the fairway on Grove 1.

We're removing this cluster of Poplar trees near the gold and blue tees on Grove 2.  This will provide more sunlight on the tees and surrounding rough, especially in the fall, when these areas stay wet most of the day due to the lower sun angles.
