Tree roots

We been hard at work despite the snow removing, root mass and moss covered turf from the R/H side of the 14th hole. We took 10 trailers of debris away and still had to chop back shallow roots with an axe.

As you can see, there are many shallow roots starving the turf of nutrients and moisture. They also break thru the surface and create dangerous lies for shots from the rough.
The areas will be re-turfed and we can work on the surrounding rough to bring definition and promote the desirable grass species.
