The 17th at the C&C Barton Creek course with too many trees.
The back side is the perfect bank shot side board.

WInner winner chicken dinner!

That shot is from the bridge, so the trees look taller than they really are. That photo is four years old, also. The trees could be even taller. Since they’re growing out of a 40-foot canyon, it’d be a bitch to lop the tops off, wouldn’t it?

In a tournament here one day, trying to finish before dark, came to this hole. Mule was our point person on the green because the sun had dropped so far, you could not tell if a ball was even on the green. With Mule describing the action once our balls hit the ground, we had quite an adventure. We had one in the creek, we had two shots lip out for a hole-in-one with Mule screaming at the top of his lungs, then we have a hole in one with the last shot, Dan Reese. Our fivesome played the hole in 12 strokes, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4. Not sure if it was the dark or the Mule…

It was the Mule, for sure. Some people just have it. Mule is one of them. Good things happen around him. Strange things happen around him, too, but my guess is that most of them are good strange. Great story. Thanks for sharing, JT. Happy New Year.
