So from that last sentence I am SUPPOSED to believe that the larger, longer than Pitch and Putt golf courses, that have had MORE trees removed for fairway grass are going to be better for flood control than the less tree REMOVAL for Pitch and Putt. Somehow I can't believe that. That would mean that the small roots of grass would prevent FLOODING better than the large roots of trees.
.........I HAVE actually removed the roots of a LARGE tree and it was much harder than the removal of the grassroots. So I LOGICALLY concluded that tree roots would RESIST water flooding better than grassroots. And in the event of a flood, the trees' leaves would help evaporate the water while the grassroots would be UNDERWATER.
