Winter Wonderland 2017

Our golf course has made its transformation into a beautiful winter wonderland. Ipswich received 6.5 inches of soft, fluffy snow on Saturday. The coating, while beautiful may be temporary. Rain and warmer temperatures are in the forecast, both of which will do a great job of turning soft, fluffy snow into wet, sloppy slush. Enjoy it while you can!

Tree Work on #11

The large tree in between #10 and #11 had a limb growing from it that needed to be removed. The limb showed signs of rot and was becoming a liability. We decided to remove the limb from the tree last week.

We decided to climb the tree and cut the limb down piece by piece. This was done so that each piece of the limb could fall safely onto the ground without any risk of one end of it hitting the ground and the other end coming back at the person climbing.

The strategy was implemented well and the limb was cut down safely.
