What's with all the white wire flags?

Over the past few days, I've had a few members ask me what the white wire flags are marking.  I placed these wire flags throughout different areas on the Front 9 that represent and mark the boundaries for newly designated native areas.  All of the areas marked are out of play and will help better define certain holes.  In addition, allowing a little more acreage on the golf course to grow naturally will benefit the environment and reduce the manhours needed to maintain these areas.  We are also better able to comply with the Audubon Sanctuary by reducing our pesticide, fertilizer, and water requirements.  When maintained properly and free of weeds, these areas can add a lot of character and natural beauty for the golf course.
