Welcome to a new year at Craigowan.  If you regularily keep up with this blog you have seen the work completed this past fall with the weather being very accomodating.  The benign weather is continuing and Jon, Jay and Al are using the opportunity to burn the dump behind #5 tee which is totally full with brush.  Our resolve to improve the health of our green sites is continuing with more tree removal this winter.  The worst shaded greens have become #7, #11 and #15 and we will be helping with that situation.  We will also be removing some more poplars in a few places around the course this winter.

This week the guys dropped a 6-pronged beast beside the 7th green, a shade contributor for sure but with plenty of other trees around, it won't be missed at all.
