Trees on hole 10

This week the team have been busy concentrating on hole 10. The willows along the lake banks have somewhat taken over more than needed or intended. Also to clear around the pre-historic stones placed 100 yards from the tee box, and to make a nice feature of these.

Clearing this area has also created a nice view, and you may also be tempted to go for the green, as you can see it clearly from the tee box. The hazard it still protecting the distance!

We then moved further along the hole, and took down the willows in the hazard. You can now see the whole fairway from the 11th tee, this being safer and also clears any dispute as to where your ball entered the hazard. We feel this has also made it fairer as to where we have positioned the new fairway bunkers!

I would also just like to make it clear, we're not intending to 'get rid' of these trees. the aim is manage and maintain. We're fortunate to have a great variety of trees and shrubs around our golf course.
