Wind Damage

Severe winds came whipping through Spring Lake on Saturday.  As is common during such storms, the golf course was littered with leaf and stick debris.  We did lose two trees due to the wind.  The spruce over the back left of 3 green was completely uprooted and a maple to the left of 11 fell in the native area.  The tree on 11 was already in severe decline and was scheduled to be removed as part of our lakefront clearing this winter.  Based on the magnitude of the winds and age of many of our trees, I was surprised that we only lost two.  Our crew is working quickly to clean up the downed trees and debris throughout the course.
