Yeah, that's it.  :)  Also known as "Old Man's Beard" And here are the hints and answers....

1.it is sort of on the edge of it's boundaries (on the fringe)

 2. they are opposite (leaves)

 3. DanG has the most experience with this tree (DanG posted the original request for ID)

 4. old master (The tree was on the golf course at the Masters where DanG was working)

 5. and the title Seen it once on here (DanG's post)

Whoohoo, yippee!!!  I finally guessed myself onto the right answer.  I appreciate the experts giving an amateur wanabe (no spelling)forester a shot.

I must admit the clues helped. Alot.  (Google too actually ;))  I was stumped til you gave the list.  Last pic clinched it.  Glad you didn't show pic of trunk, wouldn't have helped atall.

What did I win? :D ;D 8) 8)

Radar, yours are much further along than mine.  Mine are not far past bud break.  Certainly no blooms yet.

Maybe WDH or Dodgy can tell us whether the leaves are opposite - or whorled?   ::)

It's my understanding that a whorled leaf will have three or more leaves around the stem. I read these leaves were opposite.

Most plants that have whorled leaf arrangement will usually be alternate. You'll get the whorled look at the terminus of a branch. Close inspection and you'll see that the leaves will alternate in a tight spiral fashion. Not to confuse leaf whorl with conifer branch whorls, the needles will often spiral up the branch in single or double rows. Could be a tight spiral (more revolutions per inch) or more spaced. Could depend on species, but many times could depend on growth response to light conditions.

Fringe tree is in the ash family so it is legitimately opposite :).
