Hole #9 tee shots will appear much less intimidating moving forward. What once loomed over the right side of #9 fairway is now next winter’s firewood material. The left trunk of the tree that resides approx 200 yds from the green had been slowly degenerating for several years. The decision to remove the tree was made on the advice of a certified arborist and his refusal to allow his crew to climb the tree and remove dead limbs.

#9 Back in Play
Even though the oak knocked more of my drives out of the air than I care to count, I’m going to miss trying to dodge it the next time I play.
