I mean I get it, but it's a mundane/defence hole otherwise. BTW, from that perspective, 3 iron isn't exactly a gimme here. Still brings the bunkers legit into play. With his distance 5 iron/8 iron combo would probably be a high percentage play.

Hi everyone! I'm Frank, I'm a Swiss living in Colombia since 2015 who's just starting to discover this intriguing sport! I worked in finance for 20 years in Switzerland, then I traveled around the world and finally I decided to settle in this beautiful country to start my company. Now I run a luxury tour operator here. I've always been close to golf (my dad and some close friends play back home) but I just started to learn. Colombia is actually a dream golf destination in my opinion, it has it all, all year round and is still undiscovered. Smth to pique your curiosity 😉 This week I played my first 9-hole course, lost so many balls haha but I'm excited to get better so that I can play all the courses in my adoptive country! Also, I got this set from a friend (not sure if the descriptions are "well" written). Driver: Callaway Epic MAX LS Driver Wood: Callaway Epic MAX 5 Wood Regular (Project X HZRDUS Smoke iM10 60) Irons: Ping Eye 2 Irons 4-9 Wedges: Ping Eye 2 Wedge PW, Ping G2 SW Hybrid: Nickent 3DX IW RC 23° 4 Hybrid Regular Flex SR 2.5 Putter: MD Golf Superstrong STR40  #1 Putter Ball: TaylorMade Distance + So any advice/insight for beginners is appreciated! best, Frank

Well, doing different movements in the golf swing means different muscles are hating me today, 😉 Practicing the arms down better with the driver got my left lat going and my shoulder muscles going. Also, staying in my tilt more means my left hip is used differently, and I am feeling that. It also doesn't help I had the following past 5 days; Saturday: 3+ hours of practice Sunday: Volleyball Monday: 1 hour of practice Tuesday: 1 hour of practice + volleyball Today: Played 18 holes.  

I worked in finance for 20 years in Switzerland, now I run a luxury tour operator in Colombia and I actually offer custom-made golf trips throughout the country. I've always been close to golf (my dad and some close friends play) but I just started to learn. This week I played my first 9-hole course and I'm excited to get better!
