"Halfway"

The character and challenges of this hole change dramatically when using the blue tee, atop the nearby rise, instead of the more customary white tee near the start of the Wee Course. In both cases, the 1996 reconstruction of traps, both in the fairway and around the green, have added distinction - if not real difficulty - to a favorite hole. As with many Mohawk greens, the back-to-front slope on No. 9 can cause true terror in the minds of golfers faced with a long downhill putt, especially when the stakes as well as the Stimpmeter readings are high.
