TREE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The tree management program has been shifted to the top of the priority list in the golf course operations program.  The goals of the program are as follows:
1.  Improve sunlight and air flow to primary turf areas.
2.  Improve the health of existing specimen trees by removing the volunteer trees that are crowding them out.
3.  Remove damaged trees that are a safety hazard.
4.  Remove leaning trees that will become a safety hazard.
5.  Clean out the dead wood in the trees.

Tree maintenance is a never ending process.  First, we have to get the existing trees under control.  Secondly, we need to address new plantings.  We have over 2500 trees on our property with a quarter of them being in poor shape.  It is time to address the situation so the good trees will benefit, the turf will benefit and it will enhance the golfing experience.
