President Eisenhower, on the 17th hole there is a Loblolly Pine, 210 yards from the Masters tee. He hit it so many times he wanted it cut down.

Because he's a boss
In 1956 he proposed it be cut down, the name has stuck since then.
It is not dangerous at all if you will merely utilize your #3 iron - even God can't hit a 3 iron!But seriously, folks: Lightning is unpredictable. 'Nuff said.AnswerA person on a golf course can easily be taller than her/his surroundings and golf clubs are natural lightning rods. You have a greater chance of being in the path of a lightning strike while on a wide open area such as a golf course beach or athletic field. Standing in the vicinity of a tree on a golf course is also dangerous since the tree may attract a lightning strike. The documented average of deaths by lightning in the United States is 73 per year. Five percent happen on golf courses. See links for more information.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was so passionate about golf that he had a putting green installed at the White House, on the South Lawn; by some accounts, he played nearly every day when he was in Washington. He was also a member (for 21 years) at Augusta National. There is a guest cabin there named after him. Also, there is a pine tree that extends out to the fairway a bit on hole number 17; it seemed to give Ike some trouble-- so much so that he lobbied to have the tree cut down, but that did not happen. The tree is also named in honor of President Eisenhower.
Please be more specific with the question; what tree?
