The 8th hole on my home course is one of the easiest holes on the course, but it still presents danger from the tee!   Aside from the 800lb gorilla that is visible ........."the ravine", a tee shot towards the left side of the fairway must carry at least 250 to carry the abyss........  For this reason, I typically hit driver and challenge the bunker/right so if I "miss a bit left" ,  at least I have a fighting chance to carry the SHEEIT............the bunker is 250 out to give perspective.....If I hit it in the bunker, I can handle that!!

This was my tee shot line today!!!!..........LOL

My tee-ball wasn't particularly solid, so I hit a provisional......I felt 98%certain my first ball was dead..............

OH YEA!!! A Close call to be sure!!......looking back towards the tee..........LOL


I've played this hole 200+ times, and this is the first time I found my ball "UP" when I had  such serious doubts............LOL I proceeded to wedge to 8ft....and miss the putt!!!

Son of a.......!!!!!!!!!!!

This makes me want to scream!!!!

No pictures BUT on the SI2 Par 4 17th at my club the tee is well back and surrounded by trees and water and about 230-260 yards up on a very narrow fairway is a right angled dog leg right which has water on the left hand side. Anyways I connected beautifully with my drive this one day, straight as an arrow right down the centre line of the fairway BUT just as the ball started its descent it start to veer ever so elegantly to the left TOWARDS the water...then proceeded to hit a red stake, know that out of the ground BUT my ball bounced off 20 odd yards down the fairwary towards the green giving me a great second shot in to the hole :) Regards Mailman

That must have made your day to see the ball still in play when you came up.

Nice shot OP. I know I wouldn't be able to even consider aiming for the left side of the fairway... I don't have the length off the tee to carry the canyon there. I'd have to aim for the right and hope I didn't have the trees on the edge of the right side of the fairway blocking me on my next shot.

Pretty course though. Thanks for the photos!

I don't play golf, I play at golf. There's a difference.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
