New Trees

I am still not happy that two snow storms have delayed our greens aerification until next week but I was very happy to see our new trees arrive yesterday. Brian Feeley, owner of Locust Grove Nursery, and his nursery manager, John Connolly installed a 7 inch caliper Red Maple by the clubhouse and a 6 inch caliper Red Oak on the 5th hole. The Red Maple will anchor the extended first tee and was planted in accordance with direction from our architect Robert McNeil. The Red Oak on the 5th hole replaces the large Elm that was lost during a storm in August of 2010. Thanks to Brian and John the trees look great and the membership will enjoy them for years to come.
