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 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?

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
