Good news and...bad news/good news



This tree on the right side of #4 was severely damaged by winds about 5:30am on August 4th, 2011 (Click picture to see full size)

 We've got good news....this morning for the first time in a long time we received measurable precipitation, about 3" in fact, as a front passed through and the temperatures dropped from the triple digits they've been for the past several days.

The bad news, or maybe more good news, depending on how you feel about it, is that the high winds that accompanied the front blew out about half of this tree that stands at the right side of the fairway on #4 just as it crosses the creek.  If you enlarge the picture (click on it) you'll notice that the portion of the tree that is remaining upright is split in half.  Initial assessment tells us that the tree will have to be removed completely.
