Shade Patterns

The photos above show how shade effects turf in the winter as much as the summer.  The fairways are the 1st,8th,12th and 15th.  These fairways struggled last year with the heat and moisture and it is evident why.  Here the course is almost snow free except for these areas, which shows we have weaker turf in these areas due to the lack of sunlight and this is why these areas may struggle when it is hot in the summer.  Aggressive tree removals are needed in these areas.
