October Snow Storm Damage

On the heals of the cleanup from Irene the October snow storm that dumped 16 inches of snow on the golf course has caused an enormous amount of tree damage. All our ornamental trees including some of our memorial trees were severely damaged and a number of them will have to be removed. The golf and grounds staff has been making progress tackling the massive amount of branches and small tree that were damaged. A tree company has been working with our staff for the last 9 days to remove all hanging branches and large trees that were damaged in the storm. Cleanup will continue for the next two weeks. Our normal winter prep work of fertilization and winter fungicide applications on greens, tees and fairways is also taking place.
A busy fall for the staff.
