Our stump grinder contractor is coming into the city this week and we had a few trees that were on the list for removal that we wanted to get dropped and get the stumps ground before he left town. There are a few others he will clean up for us that were dropped since his visit in March of 2012. As usual, the stump grindings will be hauled away, soil added where necessary and the areas will be sodded for the upcoming season. The following trees will be cut up and removed over the next couple of days.
- White oak between 18 green and the beginning of #1 fwy died during the stress at the end of last summer.
- Large silver maple on the left side of 3 red tee had a large limb breakout of it in the last month and is hollow and out of balance.
- White oak at the bottom of #3 died at the end of the summer.
- Large Pin Oak along #4 toward #7 green that lost half of it top a year ago and was out of balance was dropped.
- White pine behind the field bar and next to the Pin Oak above.
We did not have any other large scale removals this season. As the trees begin to bud out, we might possibly have another tree or two that did not survive last years drought but we will have to wait to see if this occurs. The staff is chipping the smaller limbs which will be used for mulching in some of our woodland gardens.

| Additional removal of limbs on #18. |

| Lower left side broke off in winter. Skip dropping remaining forks so trunk can be dropped. |

| Huge pin oak dropped on #4. Eastern half of tree fell off at least a year ago. |
