Tree Work between #3 & #17 Greens

Before: Looking from #17 Green towards #3 Green.

After: Looking towards #3 Green from #17 Green.

We are also in the process of creating a breeze way between #17 green and #3 green. This should help improve the airflow around #17 green and improve the quality of turf on the green. We still have some brush to remove on the #3 side of the creek and then we will be done.

This winter we began clearing the trees behind #17 Green. We are doing this for two reasons. Reason one is to get better air flow for #17 green and the second is to get more sunlight to #2 green. We had to clear a lot of underbrush first and then we removed the larger trees. Everything went as planned, which is always a nice thing.

Grading and tilling all done.


Well I have been a little behind on the blog so I am updating our driving range project. Everything went smoothly and we had the perfect hot and dry weather that Bermuda grass needs for establishing. We are very pleased with how the range turned out and we believe that it will be a nice asset to Drumm Farm.
