  Trees are not solid, apart from the trunk and branches. I hope this helps.

  I think Mythbusters did an experiment on this previously.

  Cant remember the exact details, but they hit something like 100 balls straight towards the branches of a tree to determine the chances of the ball sailing straight through. 

  Like Courteney says, the main "body" of the tree is not solid so there is always a chance that your shot will be completely unaffected!

  On the flip side of that, I have experienced in this game before, where your ball hits a tree and bounces backwards down the fairway back towards the tee box!

  So - apparently, if you hit a ball at a tree it will sail straight through 25% of the time!

  Of course i know that.But if there are alot of branches no chance of getting threw.I could understand if it were a young tree but these are 40 foot trees.
