Walking up to the green on #7 on Old Mac is one of the most exhilirating experiences at Bandon.

I actually played the hole with Tom in a five-some and was the only person to hit the green after nearly pulling my tee shot into the gorse. At the time there were no markers out on the course, are there were 3 of us all in the same spot... If my memory is correct, two us hit 7-iron (including tom) because it didn't look like we were very far, but my 5-iron was the only ball that found the green. This hole is going to play extremely difficult for anyone with a fade/slice, especially when you are playing into the wind, because everything short or right will come all the way back down to the fairway, that is if it doesn't get caught in the bunkers! #7 was one of my favorite holes we played that day! The second shot is the key to the hole, and proper club selection can make all the difference. But whether you make a birdie or a double bogey, once you are up on the green and get a glimpse of the view all is forgotten, because it is simply spectacular! It plays really long!
