A little more damage from the Memorial Day Storms

After a day and a half of just getting caught up mowing the golf course, we started to address the mess left behind by the Memorial Day Weekend storms.  Many crew members spent the whole day picking up sticks, limbs, and raking up messes.  There is much more to be done, but at least we have a start.

Once we dug into the big mess behind #3 green, closer inspection revealed two more trees that were partially uprooted during the high, straight-line winds that blew across the course Sunday.  They are both fairly large and currently in a precarious, partially uprooted state. 

We have used yellow tape to alert players to the area of danger, and just ask that you obey the signs and stay out of this area until we can get a tree company in to clean up these dangerous trees.  While we can do tree work in-house, the dangerous nature of these particular trees force me to err on the side of safety and have professionals with the proper equipment handle the job. 

And to all those that have been asking, while the tree company is here we will trim the hanging limb on #8 tee.

The worst of the two is very near falling over.

The larger of the two trees is leaning and just starting to uproot.  It is a very large linden.

Keep out!  Wouldn't want anyone to get squished.
