Wow, it was windy last night. The windows were rattling in the house and the neighbor's lawn furniture was on its way to the land of Oz. During all of the ruckus, I was wondering how many trees on the golf course are going to blow over this time around.
Surprisingly, there were only a few. The most significant, in terms of size, was this tree adjacent to the pump house on #18. The lucky thing was that this tree fell right through an opening in the fence. Just a few feet to the right or left and we would have been replacing fence as well.

"The advent of the rubber ball was instrumental in creating an entirely different method of striking the object. The solid ball required to be hit for carry, whereas it was quickly apparent that the Haskell lent itself to an enormous run. I hold the firm opinion that from this date the essential attitude towards accuracy was completely lost sight of. This was the start of the craze for length and still more length."
Harry Vardon, 1933
