Tree/Undergrowth removal and reinstating width
« on: January 07, 2016, 01:21:40 AM »
Can anybody help me with some good before and after pictures of forestry cleaning and courses where they have dramatically widened fairways.
After three years hosting a tournament I'm looking to do the above to return the course to a more enjoyable resort friendly set up! I'm in the process of doing the proposal and need visual aids to help persuade my GM

Ben,


I have a page on my blog dedicated to the subject (which reminds me that it is due for an update) that includes some pictures.

Ben,


Not exactly what you wanted, but the images in total may show what I believe proper width/framing looks like:
