17 Left close up of three stumps.
17 Looking back at the tee and the 1/2 tree.
Side note: You can see here how the edge of the fairway has lost it's original edge. Areas like this will be mowed back out this spring.
11 rough left, three trees trimmed last fall.
11 rough, 2nd tree trimmed and was planned for removal with it being close to the fairway edge, exposed roots, thin grass underneath and hindering approach shots. After trimming the decision was to leave it standing and see how it looks and plays now after being trimmed.
11 rough, third tree trimmed. Same thing on leaving it for a season and see how it looks and plays.
10 rough left, this tree lost 1/3 of the north side years ago in the big Glen Arbor storm. It is rotton and hollow in the middle and it was approved by the board to have it removed this spring.
