Teaching Tee Shade Project

This winter one of our projects is to remove shade from important turf areas.  One of the areas we struggle with the most is the teaching tee on the far end of the driving range.  You can see in these pictures what it looked like before we started the project.

The sun comes up behind these trees each morning.  It takes until noon each day for the tee box around the building to get any full sunshine.  

These large pine trees have grown so tall they block the sunlight for over half the day.  To help increase the sunlight we will take out a section of these trees to allow the sun to directly hit the entire teaching tee.  

Here is a look at the start of the project and the instant impact it has shown.  You can see the gap in the trees were we have removed a few pines.  This gap is allowing direct sunlight to reach the corner of the teaching tee.  Our plan is to continue removing trees as we work towards the teaching building.  Once a few more trees are removed the tee will get direct sunlight and we should see the overall health greatly improve!
