I hate courses that put trees in the middle of the fairway. That's just dumb. But it seems to be "the thing" right now around here, as many of the newer courses have 1 hole where there is a full grown pine tree right in the middle of the fairway about 250-300 yards from the tee box.
So I am faced with the decision: WTF do I do now? Aim left, aim right, aim at the tree and hope my usual piss-poor aim will put me to one side or another?
I usually aim at the tree.
Which, since I have no luck except bad luck, almost always means that I either hit the tree or I'm short of it and the darn thing is directly in front of my only shot to the green.
Yesterday I was short of it, but I had just enough room to the left of the tree trunk to squeak a PW shot the 115 yards to the flag. Perfect contact. Pow!
Except I forgot the limbs. The darn things have limbs.
Shit.
