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..

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?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
