New Additions

We lost a large River Birch during last years storm near the chipping green.  It was one of the last remaining 150 yard markers from the Lee Dieter days.  Although markers, lasers etc had made it obsolete it did provide some protection for those using the chipping green.

We looked at moving a couple of trees from the 16th hole, a practice I like since they already are accustomed to the location, but determined it was too late in the season to move the  trees safely.  In order to start a new screen, we had two medium sized Maple trees ( 5" caliper) spaded into place yesterday.  They are a variety known as Brandywine.  They should provide a fall color similar to the October Glorys on the right side of the hole.  The process went smoothly with minimal damage and luckily for us nothing was broken in the process.  They are male trees so we hope to avoid those messy whirlybirds in the spring.
