Just thought this might be fun or an interesting topic, I'll start with my home course (membership at) Hazelmere golf club. Par 72 at 6800 yards from tips.

Hole 1: 381, pretty short par 4 with a slight dog leg left, wouldn't say birdie hole though, tough green with many ridges.

Hole 2: 535, medium par 5, most will hit less than driver off the tee as there is a water hazard horizontaly crossing the fairway about 250 out, reachable in 2 for big hitters.

Hole 3: 367, the first of back to back so called birdie holes. Straight and short.

Hole 4: 318, Very short par 4  that is reachable for big hitters when the tees are up playing at 304.  But many bunkers line the areas all around the green,

Hole 5: 519, shortest par 5, a mirror image of numer 2 coming back opposite it, same deal hazard up the middle.

Hole 6: 147, really easy par 3, large green with almost no trouble areas.

Hole 7: 212, brutal design with back to back par 3s, gets backed up quick on weekends.  The hole is easy aswell though, large green with only a few bunkers.

Hole 8: 351, Short but tough, tees are way back in a little narrow chute anything but near dead straight is trouble and with an upphill fairway with water at the bottom and bunkers all around the green.

Hole 9: 428, Standard straight par 4.

Hole 10: 432, Hard par 4, two sets of horizontal water hazards break it into 3 fairways with a small green and a large pond on the right and bunkers left and long.

Hole 11: 413, Easy par 4, nothing special, it's the hole in my profile picture.

Hole 12: 477, Another short par 5 with nothing too difficult aside from one pot bunker about 100 yards out from the green.

Hole 13: 220, Easy long par 3, Straight and anything short rolls up on within 25 yards it seems, but long is no good.

Hole 14: 367, Par 4 enough said.

Hole 15: 396, Same as above, no danger areas unless your a hacker that can't lift the ball in the air.

Hole 16: 550, Longest par 5.  Medium difficulty, OB on both sides, but wide fairway.

Hole 17: 167, Kinda like 17 at Sawgrass, tee shot over a pond except it's not an island green and Tiger Woods doesn't play here.

Hole 18: 365, Severe dog leg right, hit to the corner then on is the safe move, but many hit bigstick and cut the corner over the trees.

I'm not really sure the point of this is, no offense ha.

Are we suppose to just visualize what holes people play? Not sure why anyone would care about this information.

Now saying whether you wear pants or shorts.. that's something to discuss.

No offense would be to simply not post a response.

It's a valid post. Unless someone just wants to waste time and pretend other people will care about written out descriptions of 18 holes.. I don't see a reason for this.

What are we suppose to do with this information? Oh hole 3 is a short par 4? Alright, good to know.

    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
    • At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
