Tree Root Pruning

On Monday the last day of October the grounds staff is root pruning along side three Crimmson King Maples on the North side of the putting green. Pruning will help reduce drought conditions along the collar an into the putting surface. A 1/8 thick inch plastic barrier is set into place after a trench is cut 18 inches deep.

Tree removal

The Beech tree between #5 and #8 will be removed as well as the Pine tree directly behind the pump house on #14.

Tree Roots

When trees are located near tees, its not long before tree roots can play havoc and affect the health of the tee. As the tree gets older many of these roots will get

larger and could certainly hurt someone when taking a swing. This picture was taken of the tree roots on #11 blue tee where there are two large Silver Maples not more than 15 feet from the tee. These trees have been root pruned in the past, but will continue to encroach unless removed.
