A look back

Have you ever noticed these speratically placed trees along the sides of the holes? There's only one per hole, if at all. Ever wonder why there are so few?

To find the answer why, you have to go way back in time. The trees are called Southern Red Cedar trees. They are Florida natives up around the big bend area, just not here. Yet, due to their look and growth habit they resemble a type of cypress. 

Way back when, the trees were installed as 150 yard distance markers on each hole. 
Over time, and due to the ravaging affects of hurricanes, many of the trees were lost and not replaced. The next time you are out playing take a look and see if you can spot them. There are more on the back nine than the front nine.
