Doug/Brad,
I agree with Doug that the trees don't come into play much, but I'd also take down the trees along the creek that Doug mentioned on #6, because I think seeing the creek the whole way would be a much more interesting visual hazard, even though they are larger specimen-type trees.
I also would take down every crappy pine because they frankly don't have any place on a golf course. Why don't they just dig little 10 foot x 10 foot ponds all over the place because the net result is the same?!
I'm not talking about majestic Georgia Pines, mind you, where the branches start about 15-20 feet off the ground. I'm talking about little "Christmas trees", with sap, and picky needles, and other crap like pine cones that serve no purpose but to litter the course and obstruct play.
All,
I would add that even though Scott started this thread, I'm sure he would agree that
this is a "feel free to comment on pictures" thread. We all have eyes..feel free to use them!
If anyone starts to comment that you can't judge a course from pictures, or other such nonsense, I'll personally hunt them down and hit them with my abbreviated followthrough!
