The U.S. Open begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in New Jersey .

The course was completely lined with trees in 1973 when Johnny Miller shot 63 on Sunday to win the USGA's Open.

In the two Opens held there since the tree removal project was completed, the deep bunkers, serpentine drainage ditches and lightning-fast greens have produced winning scores of 5 over par.

The Masters will be held at Oakmont this week .

Winged Foot , Medinah , Baltusrol and Merion are among those that have undergone removal programs.

Too many trees, though, can pose risks, but too many can be dangerous.

“There are lots of benefits that trees provide, but only in the right place,” expert says.
