Jason,
Many trees, planted 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years ago were located improperly.
Those planting them never envisioned the impact on the playing corridors when those trees matured.
The impact of the encroaching drip lines becomes invasive, insidiously. But, removal becomes apparent instataneously, and therein lies the rub. If one could reverse the process the members wouldn't even notice the trees "shrinking" from play, but, cutting them down is a highly visible act that riles up the tree huggers.
Pines, not indigenous to the area are probably the biggest and easiest offenders.
The hardwoods are another story.
I think they have to be removed........selectively, over time.
And, always in the winter.
