The par 3 sixth at Green Oaks is a pretty scary hole. The green is as steep as a ski slope, and runs down to within two yards of the water. Shots left or right get caught in the willows and end up in the pond. Shots over the green end up behind a berm under trees, with no way to get back in one shot.
The ponds on this hole own dozens of my balls.
It is not all bad news, though. About there years ago, I had a hole-in-one here. My ball hit the back slope and rolled all the way down to the front, where the hole was cut. I was playing alone, but fortunately the guy behind me saw it go in.
Despite that, this one still makes me nervous. There are just so many ways to fail here.
