Being removed.

I play a lot of golf. I've never been on a course that didn't have trees and fences between houses and the course somewhere on the course. Typically, these are not considered racist, but because one side or the other doesn't want the view, or they're restricting access, or they're protecting the houses, etc.

There may be some historical significance to this row of trees, but otherwise, this is a Political Correctness over-correction.

They should share the story, unless it's the depreciation thing, in which case, JLaw is correct.
