Fence line clearing
During the last few weeks, the staff completed a great deal of work on the fence lines of #1, 2, 3 and 4. They had become overgrown with poison ivy, grape vines and other junk trees. Some of the areas had grown out 3' or more away from the fence line. Many piles of brush were hauled off and the area now along the fence line will allow you to locate an errant shot along the fence. I know some would like to hide the course from the outside world but our goal was to keep our side of the fence clean. Removing the material when it is smaller size is much easier than allowing the growth to become too large. The poison ivy also creates issues for not only our golfers but also our staff who are allergic to the fast growing weed.
