As usual, a few trees to remove in the fall.

Each season, we continue to remove the dead ash and pines that litter the golf course.   We also chose to relocate a few trees to places where they will have a greater impact.

This spruce behind #2 tee was struck by lightning during the late summer and didn't make it.  Weeks before, during a wind storm, the top 15 feet of it blew off.

This dead ash next to 12 tee had to be dropped into the creek and retrieved with a boom truck.

Digging the hole for the tree with a large mechanical spade.

Removal of the sycamore headed towards its new home. This sycamore on the corner of #14 dogleg was planted way too close to the fairway and would have been far too large for that spot.  Before the tree grew too large to move affordably, it was decided to move it farther into the rough, where it can become huge without making the hole unfair.
