I watched about 4 groups tee off, as well as listen on the range...you'd be surprised how many people hit the damn thing. A loud crack whenever somebody does.
The course is known for that though. The tree got beat up, or knocked over in a storm or something..and they replaced it with the exact same looking tree. See the space in the branches about a 3rd of the way up? I've seen so many people hit it through there it's insane. Waskesiu Golf Course |
That thing looks like the Charlie Brown Xmas tree. I think I'd actually like it. Good to take dead aim and bomb on right over it.
There is only one hole that has a tree in the middle of the courses I play. It's like a 430yd. hole though and the tree is like 340-350 out. I aim right at it as that hole is flat out and I can only get about 260-265 out of a driver. I like to hit a draw with a 6iron so it usually doesn't bother me. If you can use the tree to cut or draw it off of then it can be actually be easier than a hole with nothing to aim at, IMO anyway. As for an approach shot, he!!, one tree is about 6-7 less trees than are usually in my way, lol.
