That’s myself dragging the plugs with a steel mat to break them up before we blow.

Pretty cool that you can see the sand from our new drainage systems we added in the 2015 re-grass.

Corey Hall checking thing out.

Before VS After I dragged.

Candy blowing plugs.

#3 fairway is finished.

Just one of the many things all superintendents don’t like to see first thing in the morning. Tree down by the green and its an important one. :(

The Live Oak next to #5 green is completely hallow and it would be a dangerous hazard to others if we didn’t re-move it.

You can see the inside of that long branch was completely hollow.

A close up of the dead branch stub.

Time to get to work.

Big daddy and crew are taking it piece by piece. Looking good.

Half way there.

Loading her up and taking it to the dump.

Just a little damage to #5 approach but not much. Thank god she missed the irrigation loop around the green.

Say goodbye to her. Estimation of age was 150 years old. Before.

After. Its wide open now.

Tree company is here because the arborist agreed it was a danger to keep up so we have to take her down. :(

One piece at a time.

Half way there.

Mike our tree guy has been doing this for 30 years and this is one of his biggest trees he done.

His biggest saw only goes half way through the trunk. This might take awhile.

One more push……..

She’s down and :(

Its amazing to see that the whole tree was hollow already and she survived the hurricane winds of Mathew last October. WOW

Unbelievable.

That’s a monster. We will miss her.

She is gone. This will take sometime to get use to.

Top dressing all the pro-walks.

#7 tee before we top dress.
