Stump Removal

As you know from Playing the course or my previous posts on the blog we have removed a substantial amount of trees from the golf course for various reasons.  I'm not going back into the reasoning for removing the trees that was a different post.  The last part of the job was removing the stumps that were left behind.  The options were to dig them out with a loader and then fill in a large coarse hole on the course, or have someone come in and grind them up for us and leave a nice little compact hole to repair.  We removed about 35 stumps yesterday and got them all covered back up today. 
We used a company by the name of Stump Pro out of Jackson, TN.  The owner Shawn Westacott is the golf course superintendent at Jackson Country Club.  He did a great job.  The only problem was that I forgot 1 stump on #9 that was covered by a pile of wood.  So, we missed one.

  1. Wow! Good thinking that you had the stumps removed by using grinders. Using stump grinders leaves no blemishes to the ground and since it is a golf course, the ground is smoother and easier to manage rather than having the stump remnants of the tree intact. Too bad that you missed a lone stump, right?
