This week we started a small project of removing the 7 large cypress trees which were located directly to the right of #10 green. These trees were planted over 10 years ago and have grown much too large for being so close to the green. The closest tree to the green is only 30 feet from the bunker, and 52 feet from the edge of the green. These cypress trees also have many roots which are on top of the soil surface, and even have some "knots" which protrude up from the ground 4 to 6 inches high. This is not a very good place to hit your ball if you push it right on your second or third shot!
Our plan is to remove all the tree stumps and roots, and to install a large drainage basin and then sod the entire area. This will help all the grass surrounding the right side of the green to become thicker and healthier and will be much more playable. Please excuse our mess over the next week or so as we work to improve this area!
