People from the city who don't know what poison ivy looks like think they see it all over Hyzer Creek and get all worked up. However.....
I used to find a few poison ivy plants between hole 1 and 2, many years ago, but I killed it with poison ivy spray long ago. I have never seen any poison ivy anywhere else on the course.
If you think you saw poison ivy, it means you don't know what it looks like and need to see the below pics so you'll know next time. This is what poison ivy really looks like:
"Leaves of three let is be" is wrong because lots of plants have 3 leaves. Below are some 3-leaf plants that are extremely common at Hyzer Creek and are NOT poison ivy
Above is crawling raspberry. If you see raspberries on them, you can eat them.
These are strawberry plants. Leaves of 3, eat all you want. They ripen in June and are delicious.
These are clover. Leaves of 3, harmless as can be.
These are blackberry. They ripen in July and August, and are delicious.
This is Jack In The Pulpit. Leaves of three don't mean a thing.
This one also has "leaves of three". I don't know what it is, but I do know what it's not.
This might seem silly to most people, but one guy looked at this plant and ran off the course thinking it was poison ivy. Its a baby birch tree. There is no cure for stupid.
