How Many Balls Would it Take You?

To me that is a somewhat easy hole. Knock down 8 iron to keep it out of the wind.

My home course, Greyhawk Golf Club, in LaGrange, OH has an island green that I play every day. It plays 180 yards from the tips and 164 from the blue tees where I play. With the wind (which there is a lot of) it can play anywhere from an 8 Iron to a 3 iron.

Every so often when I play with my father in law (like yesterday) I will play from the whites. It was a knock down 9 iron because the pin was red.

Just the one ball if i hit it straight, its only a pitching wedge for me and im pretty good with distances, 2 balls if one is hit on the toe or heel.... nice thread by the way gets everyone involved

One ball, we have and almost island green on my home course and it plays 135- 180 yrds. heavy cross winds make it very tough to hit.
I don't think about water hazards, only need the yardage to center of green.

I said I would save a sleave only because I assumed it was under the pressure of a major tournament event. I think that is a key part of the question. Sure we can all make great shots at our home course with our normal buddies. But with milliions on the line and millions watching, that is why pro's struggled its more mental then physically difficult.

I put that it would only take me one. I mean come on people it is not a long hole and with that kind of yardage I expect to hit the green. But I have been known to hit a "errant shot" so I dont really know until I do it. I have played the Tour 18 course in Humble, Tx and it has the replica of this hole. Everytime I have played it I have hit it the first time. I dont know if that is luck or I havent experienced the winds of the real thing. I hope I get to play the real thing someday. Ive heard it aint cheap!

If it's windy I have might have trouble because I hit the ball very high, but I hit my irons pretty well most of the time.

One, maybe two. It all depends on how I am hitting my irons at the time.
