Subject: Satellite View of Middlebrook 9th hole
http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=41.790301,-71.240657&spn=0.002708,0.003444&t=k&z=18&om=1
The Pray home is the one with the pool, nearest the tee. The Amaral home is on the left of Pray's.
For a ball hit with a driver or 3 wood to get to the Pray yard is very difficult but I suppose remotely possible.
The trees behind the Amaral home are well established and tall. Could a right hander slice one high enough and long enough, certainly. But how often really!
I think the biggest problem is to get golfers to line up to the left. Left is where you want to be for a good approach to the green. The clump of trees and stuff across the fairway from the Pray home is very intimidating when looking from the tee and one therefor favors the right side.
Perhaps Middlebrook should remove some of those trees, clearing the left side of the fairway and also plant more stuff (trees, bushes, etc.) in the right side rough.
What really bothers me though is that the golf course was there first. Buyers beware!
