There’s no way to sugarcoat it: This was a shank, a shot that prompted disappointment right off the club. And then, even though it probably didn’t deserve it, the shot received the red carpet, tree-aided treatment to the cup.

Hole 13 on Pelican can be tricky if your drive strays left. If that’s the case, maneuvering your second shot to the green can become a challenge; sometimes it won’t be possible at all.

In the instance of the shot below, however, the tree situated just left of the green gets an enormous assist on this shot. Without it, there is no shot.
