Tree Work: Pine on #12

Last winter during a period of strong winds, a large pine tree on hole #12 fell down. The tree fell into another tree that stood next to it, snapping off a majority of its branches on one side. 

The tree that was left standing needed to be climbed and pruned of all of its damaged limbs. 

We climbed the tree without any issue and removed the damaged limbs.

Leaf Clean Up Fall 2016

Fall has come again to the Ipswich Country Club. The autumn colors are vibrant and beautiful. They are one of the many reasons that make golfing in this season wonderful. 

And also very challenging.

The same leaves that contribute to our picturesque golf course are the same leaves that attempt to cover every square inch of it. 

Lost balls are a nuisance for everyone and we are doing everything we can to keep the leaves at bay. 
Each day we start by blowing off greens and tees and afterwards we begin to pick up as many of the leaves as we can. We will continue to do this until the snow falls.

Have a happy fall and don't lose too many balls in our leaf piles!
