Hole 6 : Common Pochard (Aythya Ferina)
Hole 6 : Common Pochard (Aythya Ferina)

The longest Hole on the Presidents Nine and a tough par 5. The tee shot avoiding the pond on the left side will set you up to cross the ditch snaking over the fairway about 150 meters from the green, if played in to the northerly wind and the ditch becomes difficult to cross for all but the longest hitters, then a par is a very difficult. If the ditch is crossed then a well-judged approach is needed to a long, narrow and sloping green. Par is a very good score on this Hole.

The Common Pochard is not a common breeding bird in Belgium, although in wintertime it can locally be a very common. Males have a red brown head with red eyes, a black chest and a gray body, while the females are brown. They dive a lot in order to find water animals and parts of aquatic plants in the water. The duck isn’t seen lot of the golf terrain, but when lucky one might see a bird in the pond alongside the 6th Hole. You can find them all year long, but especially in autumn, wintertime and early spring.
