What are you four favorite dead or wish to soon be dead trees. Pebble 18th, Eisenhower, and recent MPCC are easy choices.


I lived through the Dutch Elm disease that hit Illinois at a point in my youth. The bark devastation was deafening. Two of those trees grew out of a single stump at a location that signaled go for it on a par five that crossed a crick. Just behind these two trees was a single specimen that signaled hmmmmm. You might bounce it over the hazard and still make the green. Now all that remains are forgotten stumps long ago replaced by rangefinders and high launch angles.


The Lawrence County Country Club double go for it stumps are my first nomination for Mount Treemore.

Well, it’s gone now but for years on the par 3 6th hole at Cobb’s Creek there was a tall tulip poplar that draped just in front of the tee requiring a low punch shot to clear the water. It was affectionately known as the Manute Bol tree.
