Trees Planted @ #1 Tee

Today we finished up plating three more trees on #1 tee bank between the white tee and the split-rail fence. We felt like this would be a great place to add a little more color and a nice visual change. The trees are all 'fruitless plum' and although they do lose their leaves in the fall, next spring they should really have a nice contrast against the green turf. We also plan to continue to reduce the turf in this area and replace with wood chips as there is no real need to grow turf in this area.

Our fingers are crossed!

Today myself, Asst. Super Tom and a couple other team members transplanted a couple of trees from the postgraduate school to an area alongside the cart path that goes from #13 green towards #14 tee. These trees should help to break up some of the landscape as well as give some new sight lines off of #11 & #13 tees.
We will be transplanting three more trees to the right of the white tee on #1 in the next couple of days.
The title of this post is "Our fingers our crossed" because all of these trees have been in a 24" boxes for way too long. Hopefully they will enjoy their new environments!
