You'll recall that for that past year + there has been a huge tree stump on #3 from the sentinal tree that we lost to storm damage in 2008. Over the past few weeks we have cut it down as close to the ground as we could, and this week have had a continuous burn going on top of it to try and burn down the remaining stump as low as we can.
We know that this is not going to completely remove the stump. Our plan is that once we have done what we can to remove as much as we can, the remaining area will be covered by soil and become a small (low) mound.
It is amazing how large this tree was. At the base it is over 6' across.
One nice benefit of attacking the stump this way is that we are somewhat "killing two birds with one stone." On one hand we are working to burn out the stump, but at the same time the material we are burning is the waste from other tree trimming projects we are performing around the golf course.
