17th hole (287 feet)

Plays shorter since it's downhill. Basket set in a clump of crabapple trees. You can go straight at the pin, but players who can throw a hyzer that far often do so, since there's a better opening to the basket from the right.

Chris: "Probably my favorite hole on the back nine. I often end up with a long birdie try from the left. Every now and then I actually make it."

Ted: "Old-style Roc or take a lot off a Cyclone. Throw it right and have it come back left into the basket. It has to be low enough to get under the crabapple trees. You don't want to hit those trees high, because they'll catch it and keep it."
