The par 5 no. 4 at Blacklick Woods Metro Golf Course
One of the best deals in central Ohio is Blacklick Woods Metro Golf Course – $15 to walk on weekdays and after 5 pm on weekends. The long or gold course always seems to be in good shape. If you are a beginner and are looking for something a bit shorter but still 18 holes, try their green course which is a par 58 at around 3700 yards.
My favorite holes on the course are the above pictured par 5, no. 4. With woods lining the right hand side and a wide creek to cross right before the green, this hole presents some trouble, especially to anyone trying to reach it in two. I also enjoy the par 4, no. 7. Allegedly playing at 346 yards from the white tees, the seventh hole offers a blind tee shot to the green with water coming into play near the green. I once reached this in one to the amazement and disbelief of one of my assigned playing partners. The group on the green at the time confirmed it and had little complaint with being hit into. Rather, they were impressed that anyone could reach the green in one.
The par 5, no. 14 at Blacklick Woods Metro Golf Course
My favorite holes on the back nine are the par 5, no. 11 and the par 5, no. 14. Hole fourteen offers a good chance of hitting the green in two but don’t lose it to the right on your second shot or the trees/rough will steal your ball. Also don’t mishit it off the tee or you won’t clear the creek.

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
