Now that our tree work is complete for the season, we are making an effort to get the back parking lot of Golf Course Maintenance cleaned up by splitting as much wood as possible for the Clubhouse and Hudson House. Again, all the wood for the Club fireplaces comes from the golf course. This year, we have a good mix of Cherry, Oak and Pine. Obviously, the Pine is not suitable for burning, so it is hauled off site and disposed of. At this point, there is no real market to sell the pine logs to local saw mills. That is a question I am asked often. On top of that, in order for us to be able to handle the logs to get them off the golf course with our equipment, requires us to cut the logs in 4' lengths. Saw mills prefer 10' plus long lengths for making lumber.
While on my 7:30AM golf course walk, I watched this Bald Eagle fly above hole #1 and come to rest in this Oak tree between #2 and #3. I always appreciate golf courses for the wildlife we're able to witness on a daily basis!
