Another one goes down.....

This morning we had a back 9 start so that we could have plenty of time to cut down one of the dead pines between #5 tee and #6 fairway.



These trees have needed to come down for some time but with a short staff and a long dry summer we have put our efforts into maintaining the course.
Now that we have received a little rain we were able to divert some of our staff to getting these trees cut down. Tom took the reins of the project and got everything ready and well organized and by 7:30 the first tree was on the ground and limbs were being chipped. We have scheduled another back 9 start for next Wednesday and with a little luck we should have the other two knocked down and cleaned up.
