The number seven hole at the popular nine hole (plays 18 by using
different tee boxes) course in Rusk, Texas is a par four. The fairway
has a 90° dog leg left about 150 yards out. That 150 yards is very
narrow requiring a near perfect down the middle shot off the tee. The
trees are tall and thick, pine trees preventing one from seeing the
green on the tee box. Several months back my son-in-law was playing a round with three of his sons. Steve carries a 3 handicap and hits a towering very straight drive, his longest drive to date is 397 yards. When the guys got to the #7 tee box Steve decided he would try to hit the green by going over the top of the trees. I am sure you have guessed the rest of the story, he aced the shot. Although he has not repeated with another ace he does hit the green regularly. Andy Ruigh wrote: --
