Comments on: Burning Tree – Makes Augusta National look like a women’s club http://www.hookedongolfblog.com/2006/05/09/burning-tree-makes-augusta-national-look-like-a-womens-club The #1 Blog In Golf Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:37:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru http://www.hookedongolfblog.com/2006/05/09/burning-tree-makes-augusta-national-look-like-a-womens-club/comment-page-1#comment-13289 Tony Korologos a.k.a. mediaguru Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:00:55 +0000 http://www.hookedongolfblog.com/?p=861#comment-13289 Funny. Even though I've posted pictures of myself ON the course, and posted a gallery of over 20 course photos, you still don't believe I played it. Like I said, this piece was written in 2006 and I played the course many years prior. I'm trying to figure out what year, but judging from the file names of the photos in my Burning Tree gallery, it was 1997. 74? This is a SHORT course. Sorry to hurt your feelings guys, but this is not a hard course. I could reach all the par-5's (the LONGEST which is 481) with irons. 74 (three over par) for a 1 handicap isn't out of line for a par 71 with short par-5's is it? Hell my home course is 6400 yards and it is a par-70, and it has TWO par-4's longer than two of BT's par-5's. I shot 73 at Edgewood Tahoe from the back tees the 2nd time I played it and that is a MUCH tougher course than BT. I give up... Funny.

74? This is a SHORT course. Sorry to hurt your feelings guys, but this is not a hard course. I could reach all the par-5’s (the LONGEST which is 481) with irons. 74 (three over par) for a 1 handicap isn’t out of line for a par 71 with short par-5’s is it? Hell my home course is 6400 yards and it is a par-70, and it has TWO par-4’s longer than two of BT’s par-5’s. I shot 73 at Edgewood Tahoe from the back tees the 2nd time I played it and that is a MUCH tougher course than BT.

I give up…

What are you talking about. After playing for the first time this past summer, I had a delicious glass of Burning Tree Lager, made at the course, while enjoying a Romeo and Juliet cigar on the patio outside the full service bar!! Oh, and I'm sure you shot 74 on your first trip around the course!!! No Beer! What are you talking about.

I agree with the previous comment and wonder if you really visited the real Burning Tree. All of the above previous comments accurately correct your false representations with one modification. We have a Ladies Day Cocktail Party once every two year in the Spring during May. Enjoy your round at Congressional. It is a great world class course and I'm a member there as well. (Where in God's name did you ever get the information that Burning Tree had no liquor license? I reviewed my bills for the time you visited and liquor was served everyday.)

And that is why I can say that your trip report is highly dubious. First of all there is a parking lot, albeit small. I have never once seen anyone parked on or near the 9th tee. On busy days, mostly tournaments, cars line the driveway adjacent to the range, the 2nd green, and the chipping green. Secondly, at no time during my tenure did we stop serving alcohol. And of course there are always sodas and gatorades available. Additionally women are allowed in the shop for Christmas shopping and on the course one day in May for the Spring blooms.
