History
This hole looks innocuous, maybe even
simple. But looks can be deceiving, and as
the man for whom this hole is named did on
the courses he designed, Mick and Drex used
the natural terrain, the creek, and the
trees in many subtle ways to create this
demanding par five. Notice how the line of
trees makes a "jail" for the slicer. Look
for the creek to be just where it should (or
shouldn't) be, depending on how you hit your
second. Consider how you'll pay if you snap
it ugly left.
Requirements
Arrow-straight drive. Good judgment on the
tee.
Suggestions
Don't fight this hole. Take a birdie with
pride, and take a bogey in stride.
Observations
If the measure of a man's character can be
found in what he would do if he knew he
would never be found out, then golf gives
him a perfect "yardstick" with which to
measure.
