Tree work continued


 25th tee shot after tree removal
Gary Liversedge the tree surgeon came today to carry out essential tree maintenance. This oak near the 19th green had extensive wind damage from a couple of months ago. Removal of torn, damaged and dead wood will ensure the tree remains healthy.

 He also removed lower branches from the oak to the rear of the 21st tee. This will help the playability of the tee and allow more light for increased turf quality.

Finally he removed a broken section from the top of a silver birch on the 14th, again caused by the strong winds we had a couple of months ago.
