Hole 5 - Common Ash
A challenging dog-leg to the right with a bunker at the elbow of the hole.
Only a good tee shot allows a perfect view of the green.
80 meters from the green, on the right side of the fairway, a spectacular tree penalizes those who are less precise.
The Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior)
It generally has a rapid growth rate and can survive in difficult environmental conditions such as polluted areas, salty environments, or strong winds, and it also withstands both low and high temperatures well.
The ash tree typically prefers full sun or partial shade and adapts to any type of soil as long as it is deep and cool, tolerating moist and poorly drained soils well. The fruits, leaves, roots, and bark of the ash tree have mild laxative, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, and anti-arthritic properties.
Chemical analysis supports these properties due to the presence of coumarins and flavonoids, which inhibit the production of endogenous inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins.
