The finishing hole at Granville Golf Course – 125 foot drop from tee to green
Here’s one of my favorite finishing holes in central Ohio. This is the 18th at Granville Golf Course. Not only is it a beautiful hole but it has treated me well in years past – I’ll forgive the 18th for my most recent score, however. Is there any possible way to improve upon such a great finishing hole?
Well, believe it or not, there is. In fact, if you look closely, a lone bagpiper is standing next to the bunkers on the right.
Jeff Linn, The Highland Piper
Jeff was so kind as to let me take a video as he performed. Imagine being on top of the tee, several hundred yards away, and hearing that in the distance. Very inspiring. My thanks to Bill for hiring Jeff for the outing.

See ya next year!
Jeff Linn performs Amazing Grace
I used to attend Liberty Presbyterian Church before they built the huge church barn. Once or twice a year, David Redding would have about a half dozen bagpipers come into the church and fill it with music. You talk about inspiring. That music used to cut right through me. Amazing Grace was usually one of the songs on tap. Jeff was kind enough to take a request.

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.
