the hole.

It's a one-shot hole. It has to be straight...

The Red X is heel-shafted. The Red X2 is the center-shafted version.

I love it. I reviewed it if you look for it. It's the putter I use. It's my gamer.

Here are the usga guidelines for the length of holes.

Looks like agusta is going to push the limits on the par 3 lenght.

"The USGA has periodically issued guidlines for the par-ratings of holes based on their lengths; i.e., if a hole is 200 yards, it is a par-3.

Those guidelines have changed over the years, and the way they are used has changed, too.

The current guidelines are these for men:

Par 3 - Up to 250 yards
Par 4 - 251 to 470 yards
Par 5 - 471 yards to 690 yards
Par 6 - 691 yards or more

And for women:

Par 3 - Up to 210 yards
Par 4 - 211 to 400 yards
Par 5 - 401 to 575 yards
Par 6 - 575 yards or more"

kklick, those guidelines cant be right cuz at Bethpage Black, one of the par 4s, on the back, measures 499. oh wait, i suppose that's measuring from the tour tee.

Oakland Hills is lengthing the 17th Hole, which is already a brutal uphill 210yd hole to 230+ yards. Along with the other course renovations, it should make the '08 PGA very interesting to watch.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      Padraig Harrington FIG Round

      By billchao ·

      Absolutely. It's definitely something that took me a long time to learn. One of the things I kept telling myself during my tournament (out loud, mind you) was, "Stick to the plan." There was the temptation to cut off doglegs with the driver because I was hitting it well, at one point on #15 I actually walked to the tee box with it in my hand. I was like, wait a minute, this is not the plan. Put it back and hit 6 iron.

      Padraig Harrington FIG Round

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I think that's the same sort of issue though. Changing your game plan because you're playing well is not, generally speaking, a good idea. Playing a game to get you used to having a good score will (hopefully) help you learn to handle that situation better. So maybe next time you're playing well, you'll keep doing what you were doing. When I was about 19-21, I would play many times and find myself about even through 11 or 12 holes. Then I'd fritter a few shots away due to silly mistakes and end up shooting 4 or 5 over for the round. I did that a LOT. Then one day I didn't do that - I was even or so through 11 and wound up shooting -2 for the round. After I did that, I did it a lot more. I was probably improving somewhat over that period because I was playing a lot, but my mindset definitely improved as a result of that one round. It was like mentally I bucketed myself as a mid-70s shooter, so that's what I shot. Then after that one round I could break that down and mentally became a high 60s to low 70s shooter (on my good days at least). That was quite a freeing feeling. I do wonder if I'd have got better faster if I'd heard of the ideas to play front tees or the FIG round that Padraig talks about here.
