Every time I play a new course there always seems to be one hole that sticks out in my mind. Just the way it's set up will look so much better than anything else on the course.

This is hole #16 at Clear Lakes GC in Buhl ID.I love this hole from tee to green.

Anyone else have any favorites?

All courses have a "signature' hole which is usually on the cover of the scorecard.For years the Black had #4 with all the traps across the fairway on the second tier of the fairway and it was on the cover of the old scorecards.

There may be more beautiful holes that I have played, but when the foursome I was playing with walked up to this hole we were just like WOW what a drop off.

I think I played that hole a few years ago. Is it at The Woods Resort?

That's the kind of hole to which it's fun to hit something really high, but to which it's probably a lot smarter to basically punch some low thing right down the hill.

You sir are correct. My step dad played the smarter shot like you said. I on the other hand tried to pop it up and hit it fat.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
