John:

actually the award for "stupidest tree" is the OTHER tree that is in the middle of the fairway on that hole!  It obviously was placed there for fear that the original tree would die, and it would be its "replacement."  Unfortunately, the original tree still is alive and it CONTINUES TO GROW!!, making the hole probably from many places in the fairway!
