Tree maintenance

We are systematically going around the course and pruning all the trees that are in need. The goals of tge exercise are to remove any dead woodvand lift the crowns so machinery can drive beneath and so that when golfers land in the rough then they might still have a shot at the green without further penalty caused by low branches.

The one picture shows how a remaining stump has been cut into with the chainsaw. This is done to prevent regrowth of the unwanted tree and the idea is that water should be able to stand on the stump and encourage it to rot.
