Where have some of the trees gone? It is a scientific fact that Bermuda grass needs sunlight to complete the process of photosynthesis and a deficiency in sunlight results in weak, unhealthy turfgrass. Agronomic purposes are the backbone reasoning for removing the pines by #18 green along with the cypress tress to the left of #2 green. The pines behind #2 green were removed to create a future area for a nursery if need be this coming summer. As many of our members know, this is the reason green's #11 and #12 often struggle, which is due to overbearing shade. We are currently exploring options to potentially move these greens in the future as the Live Oaks which present the shade issues are not on the country club's property.
