Some of you have noticed we have cleared the drainage ditch that runs between #10 and behind the ladies tee on #18. This was done for playability and aesthetics and I must say it looks a lot nicer. We have also started to clear the small brush and some trees behind #12 green, this is being done to allow for a more sunlight and airflow. The back of #12 green lacked morning sunlight and the area around the green always stayed wet. Morning sunlight and airflow are critical for healthy grass, especially promoting bentgrass. Without it plants can have physiological problems that can lead to disease and eventually a poor putting surface. Here are a couple of photos of these areas.
