Trees

Over the last few days we have completed planting all of the new trees across holes 10-18. These are all staked so free relief can be taken should you find your self near one. On Thursday we had Gary Liversedge the tree surgeon at the club to carry out more tree pruning. Such pruning that can not be carried out by the green staff. Selected branches have been removed to allow play without unfair obstruction. A lot of the trees on the course are young and can easily be trimmed however mature trees need specialist attention. 
All debris cleared before a sharp snow shower around 2.00. Which unfortunately left the course unplayable. Thankfully with a little sunshine the course reopened Friday lunchtime with temporary greens in play.
