One of the perennial winter tasks we take on is tree trimming. This week was the start of that month long project.
This is one of those tasks I really enjoy doing. After completing an area, I stand on the tee and admire the change and cleanliness that is now present. There are many reasons why we try to keep trees trimmed, they include:
- Improved access by golf carts
- More space for that perfect swing if you happen to be under a tree
- Less damage to trees due to hitting branches with a rough mower roll-bar
- Improved turf growth around and under the tree
- Easier access by string trimmers
- More air circulation through the course which improves turf health
- And, a more professional/clean appearance to the grounds
