That tree is seen in the photo circa 1930. I just blew through Doak's book on MacKenzie hoping to find some mention of that tree's existence, and circumstances of its demise and when. I found nothing. I refuse to believe that Dave's admonishment about refusing to "EVER" believe that ODGs didn't do double hazards has legs. I have to believe that the one single odd tree in 1930 has some sort of 'history'. I wonder if it wasn't something that one of the team (Hollins, Whighim, Hunter) or someone insisted on, only to be cryit doon, in a few short years or months. It does seem goofy, and I found no other examples of such a tree in a hazard in photos in Doak's book.
BTW, the historical and contemporary slide show is fabulous. What a great club website.
