Early Start Times
The maintenance team has had some early mornings this past week as we prepped for our Royal and Ancient tournament.
Tree Removals
We still continue to remove dead trees from different areas around the course. Here are pics from a tree removal on #11 as well as one on #17. We will keep moving forward with our efforts to keep up with the emerald ash borer and it's destruction through dead tree removals and new tree plantings.
