The creation of the forward tee on 17 has opened up new possibilities for golfers. What was once a dog leg right is now a more approachable straight/slight curve for our golfers. However, when creating the forward tee there were limited locations for placement. The decision for the tee's final position left a problematic left side for golfers off the tee box. A Pin Oak hugging the left side of the fairway just in front of the tee box made it hard for golfers to hit a drive off the tee without disruption from the tree. Hence, the tree removal that the Blue Hills maintenance staff finished just this past week.
Not only will the removal of the tree help golfers hit a cleaner shot off the tee, but will also help with the growth and development of the zoysia tee box. The large tree projected a lot of shade over the tee box which was restricting optimal growth potential.
