Hole of the Week #10 - Deacon's #5

This is a tremendous hole. It takes a good poke off the tee to have a mid-iron shot to a huge and tricky green. The trick with the green is not hitting it; but rather putting it close to the hole. Any decent shot toward the green will make you feel great because the large bowl collects everythig toward the green. The green is huge. You can be on the dance floor and be in a different zip code than the pin.

Meanwhile, you have this beautiful view of the lake on the right side. The loons usually make their appearance during the evening round. Some Cahoonas get a particularly good view of the lake on the right as the trees on the right have a magnetic feel to them off the box.

Then there is the wonderful cabin overlooking the green. On several occasions, I can remember looking up through the cigar smoke rings to find we have an audience sitting in the swing by the cabin above the green. About the time I become melancholy, some Cahoona misses a 40-footer and lets out a thunderous "f-bomb" and brings me back to earth. What a hole!
