Another cottonwood goes down. We also cut down two birch trees this week on the back nine. I notice about two or three more cottonwoods that will be cut down sometime before next season and I am shooting for the removal of at least two Russian Olives near the range before summer staff leaves for school.

During this heat wave it is just to hot for tree work and with night time lows dipping into the 80's we have really been monitoring our night time water and that is why you may see some day time overhead irrigation in the fairways. We have also been out handwatering and that will continue as the heat passes and we get a little more aggressive with the greens heading into Pro-Am preparations.
