Hole of the Week 7: Deacon's Lodge - #9

This is a great hole for so many reasons. It is very forgiving with my "power fade" - on at least two shots! If I power fade too much off the tee - I get a chance to trek over to the Tiger Woods cabin to pinch one. It offers a great risk/reward on your second shot. And it's birdie-able (is that a word).

I remember watching that pileated woodpecker rip that tree up two years ago on this hole. There was bark flying every direction.

It reminds me how playing this course is like a nature walk. What a golf course!!!
