Thornapple 7

7
Par 5, 456 yards, slight dogleg left

Amean tee shot over a thorny hazard, and a stingy landing area. Can't leave it short, but not much place to miss it left or right.

I play 4-iron off the tee but, strangely, send it up and right, moving almost perpendicular to the hole. (I never hit a hook, but I guess variety's nice.) I power 3-wood back to the fairway and then plunk my 7-wood in the sand. My sand wedge flies the green, so it's another sand wedge coming back. I'm left with a 14-footer with one foot of break. Somehow, the ball falls. 6.
