History
This hole was built with an argument
going on all the while. The builder,
Charles Maddox, succeeded in getting
the maker to leave the huge oak tree
that guards this green and gives
this hole real character. This
gambler's-dream hole invites you to
go for eagle and often gives you
double-bogey.
Requirements
Average drive kept to right of
fairway traps. Good fairway wood or
long iron kept to right of big tree.
Approach pitch kept left and below
hole. Your usual good putting
stroke. Self-control on second shot.
Suggestions
Use your head on this hole. If your
drive is short or left, lag up short
of creek and punch in a 6-iron or
fly a 7-iron up over the big tree.
Difficulties
You are "dead" when you go left.
Poor drive leaves a tough second
over creek. Many will try to get
home in two, but bogies often and
eagles are few!
Observations
It is 210 from the yard-arm to the
lake. Most golfers under-club 90% of
the time. It sure is a beautiful
day.
