353 yard, par 4, first hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
356 yard, par 4, second hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Watch out for the pond on the right. It’s small but catches a lot of balls.
454 yard, par 4, third hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
This is the number 1 handicap hole on the course – mainly because of its length.
188 yard, par 3, fourth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Don’t pull it left here, you run out of room in a hurry.
402 yard, par 4, dogleg left, fifth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Blind second shot to a small green makes this hole tough.
209 yard, par 3, sixth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Severely uphill par 3 makes choosing the right club difficult.
514 yard, par 5, seventh hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Unless you can really blast one, you’ll have a second shot from an uphill lie making it very tough to get home in two.

404 yard, dogleg right, par 4, eighth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
My buddy blasted it through the dogleg and had less than a hundie to the flag. Nice!
Approach to 404 yard, dogleg right, par 4, eighth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
364 yard, dogleg right, par 4, ninth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Right before we hit, a maintenance worker was clearing off the tee as they had just aerated it. He raked off a spot and said that he had heard that this was the best spot to go for the green from. I took him up on it and sent one into orbit. It shot over the pond and landed on the green. It’s the ball closest to the flag in this picture. First time that I’ve ever done that. I guess I needed to drive the green to make birdie today as this was my lone bird. I’ll still take it!
371 yard, dogleg left, par 4, tenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
My buddy blasted another one here to where that red and black golf bag is. Kapow!
162 yard, par 3, eleventh hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
This is really a nice hole, especially from the reverse perspective.
Look back at tee at 162 yard, par 3, eleventh hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
485 yard, par 5, twelfth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
This is a short par 5 and easily reachable in two if you can keep it on the green.
Great tee markers!

Looking back at the tee from the 12th green.
185 yard, par 3, thirteenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Approach shot to 402 yard, par 4, fourteenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Approach to 380 yard, par 4, fifteenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
This may be the signature hole on the course or perhaps the next hole . . .
459 yard, par 5, sixteenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Tough par 5 – we determined that to go for it in two (which may not be very smart) you need to lay back with your tee shot to clear the trees.
Sixteenth green
432 yard, par 4, seventeenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
It didn’t seem like it played 432 yards long. Back nine has a lot of severely sloping greens. Here’s another one of them on this hole.
404 yard, par 4, eighteenth hole at Blackhawk Golf Club
Here’s the finish at Blackhawk. We seemed to be having discrepancies with our GPS unit and Blackhawk’s yardages all day. I went with the GPS yardage on this one and almost put it in the parking lot.

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.
