why would the remove cottonwoods? are they are pest tree.
not excited about dams on the first. its really a difficult hole as it is as the green is really not suited to that length hole.
My memory of Nudgee is a little vague as I have only played there once (in an OZgolf round), but isn't there already a lake on the right side of the 1st?
Did I mention I made an eagle that day?
Yes the cotton wood between 7 & 8 are gone. The row of pines are gum are designed to protect 7 long term
They are planing to remove cotton trees from around the course. Part of the plan from a consulting designer. They are considered a pest tree which takes a lot of ground water.
Some more to the left of 5 are gone today.

They were probably planted to drain swampland originally, and have done that job well.

Mark has some pics of 8
First pic is taken from 50 meters from the 8th green, dead centre of the fairway, looking back towards the tee box

This pic is taken level with the bunker on the righthand side of the 8th

more cottonwoods have been chopped down ..... in between the 6th and 7th holes, and down the lefthand side of the par 3 9th.

It's really making the place look a lot 'neater'
The turf has been laid on the 8th (well most of it has) and it's coming along nicely

No hippies chained to the trees prior to chopping?
Will the course rating be 67 now for the north course?
Cotton woods gone on 1.
Gone between 6 & 7
Gone on left of 9
Dams on 1 either side of the hump
Between 2, 4 & 5 is to be cleaned as a dam
Behind 2 is to be cleared
All cotton woods replaced by natives were required
Fairways to be leveled
Future
15 green may move back and left across the creek.
13 water from the left to cut in at 200 water on the right of the green as well.
All dams to be linked by burns

That sounds great. 13 needs some interest. 15 on the other side sounds good too.

That's gonna be a big dam between 2,4 and 5.
Should be good though as it give the place a cleaner, uncluttered look.
Moving the green on 15 is interesting too.
When is the freeway going through there?
Forum needs more banter.
Will there still be trees to hide behind while having a sneaky dump?
