Above and below, you can get a feel of the progress we've made on the 17th hole.
Below, you can get a feel for the improvements on the 15th. The green is more accessible from the 2nd shot. We did not affect the beauty of the hole in any way doing this pruning.
On the 15th hole, I took the time to have a tree climber limb the enormous Hemlock to the right of the cart path at the bridge. This Hemlock is one of the largest on HCC property and in good shape, benefitting from the insecticide treatments it receives annually to prevent hemlock Wholly Adelgid infestation. Removing the dead limbs makes the tree look much more grand and taller. Over time, I want to address every tree on the property this way.
