Tree removal on the course this winter

We have decided to remove some trees on hole number 6, just across the bridge. These large trees were affecting golfers that were forced to layup in the rough area across the pond. After the stump grinding this spring, we will do some work to improve the rough. We also decided to take down a large maple tree by #5 gold tee. This particular tree didn't effect playability, but it did in fact impede morning sunlight, which is the most important sunlight the turf needs. The first photo shows the 3 trees in the rough area across the pond on hole 6 where some people have to hit to. The second and third picture show the maple tree by the gold tee on hole 5 that was felled and a look from the tee with tree removed.
