New Tee Box

This week, we added a new championship tee box on no.5. The tee will add around 15 yards to the hole. It is pushed back into the border fence, further left than the existing tee, which calls for the shot to be shaped off the tee, making the hole substantially tougher when playing from the blues. When the turf becomes established, we will gradually lower the height of cut on the new sod, down to tee height.

 

 

 

 

 

Tree Work on No. 5

Today we cut back all the overhanging branches to the left of No. 5 tee and fairway. From years of growth, the trees on the border were overhanging and impeding tee shots. This opens up the hole off the tee considerably. With the trees cut back, we plan to reopen the old championship tee in the near future too. Below are some before and after pictures.
