There are different rules for different folks. When the trees are on a Championship course, the trees can be cut down at will. Several years ago golf management cut 27 large oaks from a stand of oaks behind our house. I called Todd Basso while the cutting was going on and asked why they were doing it and basically his answer was so the remaining oaks could "flourish." When asked if he had consulted an arborist, the answer was "No."
