| On the 17th, a 459 yard par 5. The green is on an island. Guarding the green on the fairway side, dead center on the green is 150ft oak. I hit my normal 200 drive. I get a hold of a 3 wood for 175. Now I got 84 yards to the center of the green. I load up the PW and get away a clean shot, well theres one stinking little branch almost at the top of the tree and you guest it I hit it, down drops the ball into the moat. Shooting 4, but instead of moving up, I decide to try again from where I'd just shot, what are the chances of hitting that same branch, astronomical, well I did, into the moat it goes. Shooting 6, get smart and move up, but because I'm so perturbed, I shank this one into the moat. Shooting 8, this one is off the toe of the club, clears the moat but over the green on the right side. Chip onto the green, 2 putt......I'm gonna bring a chain saw with me next time.....
