25th Tree work

 Before work begins
 Work begins removing three limbs from the clump of sycamore trees on the slope to the left hand side of the fairway, on the 25th hole. This work is needed to improve line of sight to the fairway from the tee, improving the playability of the hole for all handicaps. Once the season begins the changes will be reviewed, as to weather more of the tree is removed or bunkers are needed to protect the green from longer tee shots.

The lads hard at work!
