I would shell out the cash if the hole wasn't so long. It says you need to hit your 260 to 270 meter club. If my calculations are correct, that's 284 to 295 yds. That distance is a driver followed by a 25 to 35 yard pitch for me.

Per foursome......  Only $250 apiece.  Not cheap, but certainly in the realm of a somewhat reasonable, once-in-a-lifetime splurge.

Also my first thought was holy cow I wonder what kind of ball mark you'd leave if you hit the green...

That is true. And didn't even think about the ball marks hahaha. If the green is wet the ball will probably just sink 2 feet under

From the 860 to the 310 and back

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
