I like any hole that has a forced carry involved with it.. Especially forced carries over water.

These types of holes offer up a little more excitement for me. 

I even practice simulated forced carry shots as a way to limit the intimidation factor these types of holes provide when playing for a score..

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

You SOB.  😀  Can you get me on there?

You wouldn't believe how lucky I was. I was an alternate because someone couldn't make it and I doubt I will get another shot at it. Golf trip of a lifetime.

Nice.  I've played a couple of courses near there but didn't have the status or pull to get on that one.  Wondering if "Long-Time Member" of TST would do the job???  For both of us!  I just noticed we have the same status.

We were able to play unaccompanied so it isn't impossible, but the guy I played with who knows the member has a long list of suitors. They allow an hour of unaccompanied golf in the mornings, between 7:30 and 8:30. The members don't play at that hour because, when we were there in October, it is so cold but the playing conditions were perfect.

Isn’t that on Whistling Straits? Maybe not the Straits course, but the Irish maybe?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. 😊 It's Cypress Point, in CA.  Very exclusive.  It used to be in the rotation in the Pebble Beach Tournament.

Heck, I’d love to play Cypress Point just once in my lifetime, even though it’s expensive (not to mention difficult).

Very good educated guess though!  I'm in a hotel bar (Uh, I mean public library) and someone peeking at my screen suggested it was Wolf Creek in Nevada.  Hmmm...

I assume the hole you thought this was can be found here:

Yep. That’s exactly the hole I was thinking about. They look so similar!

I suspected that it was the course. You have to be seriously connected to get to play there!

Yes! Remember the shot of Clint Eastwood, and a bunch of others, hanging onto another actor's belt, I believe it's Orson 
Bean, to keep him from falling into the sea after hitting his shot? You may if you are as old as I am! 

And yes, Cypress Point is SERIOUSLY private! It's more private than Augusta National. I once read where they turned down a request by Barack Obama to play!

Was Obama still just a Senator among 100?  Or the President at the time?

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.

      That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle.

      April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
