Tee time: 9:02am
Cost: $35ish
Range: yes
Long drive: 6th hole (par 4)... never before been used!
Everyone is on the BLUE tees unless you tell me you want to move back. As with last week, you don't want to do this. The 14th hole alone is a 263 par-3, through a shoot, all carry over water... and it used to be a blind shot. I think they cut back some of the trees years ago.
Although... moving back will get you 4+ strokes... nope. Don't do it.
Scorecard (old but allegedly still accurate)
I fully expect conditions to suck. So be prepared, and figure out how to score. We got Grasslands Week 3, which should be nice (11am for all you elites who want to play "private clubs"). But for this week, gonna have to shed some skin to win some skins!
------------------------------------------------
Speaking of skins, for all the new people and the old people who don't pay attention:
Everyone has pre-paid $18 for the event ($1 per hole). Skins are group specific... at 80% handicap, stroking off the "low-man" of the group. So if you have the lowest net-score of a hole in your group, you'll win $1 from each Member in that group (Club credit, of course).
Win six holes, and you'll break even.
Any holes that are tied roll-over to the next hole. If there is a tie on 18, all un-paid skins go to whoever won the FIRST skin of the day. So it's important to play well early!

There’s no chance that par 3 can really be 263
ReplyDeleteWatched Dan play from the tips on that hole in 2015. Put one in the water( didn’t carry). Hit another for fun which we never found. Went to the drop zone for his real 3rd shot. Made a 5
ReplyDeleteGail into my face. Driver didn’t clear the water.

ReplyDeleteDave reports the course has “improved since last time we played it.”
ReplyDeleteSo we got that going for us.
Yes it’s improved but don’t get too excited as it’s all relative. Greens are decent. I played gold and it’s tough but I’m gonna try again on Sunday
