Golfers know about lateral hazards and water hazards, but there is one hazard even more irksome and painful-
the spruce tree. 

They stand like vertical water columns reaching up to grab an errant shot.  Miss into one and odds are the ball won’t come out. Unless you’re sporting plate mail you probably won’t be going in after it and now you’re down a stroke and a ball. Either way, that hurts.

If you have a Navy Seal mentality about golf balls and “Never Leave Your Own Behind”, prepare to bleed for your convictions. These things are toothy critters.

Trust me on that one…and try not to overshoot your tee shot on 18 Alpine.
