New Tee Markers

 One of our 'to do's' this winter was to create new tee markers that tied together with the overall theme of the course amenities and ones that would hold up through the course of the season.  In looking at many different options, we came up with the tree branch look.  This continues the natural theme throughout the course and should hold up well as it sits in the elements all season long.  To purchase similar style markers through a catalog would have cost over $1,700!  We have about $150 in supplies wrapped up in the project and we'll be able to make more markers quickly if need be. 

Winter Tree Work

Over the last three weeks, we've been working (along side Drefs Tree Service) on completing our tree pruning/removal plan.  Below are some pictures of the areas that we've been working on.  There have been some removals, but we're trying to give the large Oaks some attention by getting a heavy prune on them.  We started at the top of the hill on #7 north and worked all the way down to the green and  cleaned up the left side of the fairway.  It will make a huge impact on the hole as if you're on the left side of the fairway now you'll actually have a shot at hitting the green.  We have a long list of work yet to complete, but we're off to a good start! *click on picture to enlarge*
