Wow, they really did butcher that oak!!! It is unfortunate. The trees lining Buena Vista near LSL are so incredibly beautiful and the occasional old oaks scattered about are one of the things that make TV so beautiful.
I agree with you that they overdid it. And it is a shame. Golfer driven, most likely. But golf courses are designed to incorporate naturally occurring "hazards", so I truly don't understand the over pruning.
Maybe they will leave this one alone now and let it continue to grow, maybe filling in some of the outside lower branches. Some moss would help too. I bet she was a beauty!
