Wow. Where can you bail?

You have me intrigued.  The Majestic has a similar hole but I don't recall the bunkers.  I give up; where is the photo from?

man I wish we had anything that scenic around here. Those michigan courses look amazing. Might have to make a summer trip up there. But then again those desert courses look awesome and the links courses and of course I have to go to Bandon. Too many courses, not enough time (or money). Lol

Here's a shot of my favorite hole at the Winstar Golf Course in Oklahoma. It's the Par 3 9th on the East course. Love the shot of the Clubhouse in the background.

Seventeen hole, Par 3, huge green - usually about 160 yds. Apollo Beach Golf Club (south of Tampa, FL).  Like most greens on my course....large greens, bumpy, and relatively flat.

Got to play this course last month for my birthday. A real classic.  I chose a 3 wood to spite my caddie. Hit it into the water. Then took out my driver and knocked one 15 feet from the hole. That's my caddie with the beanie on giving me the stink eye.

Took me a minute to figure out where you were, cuz for some reason I was drawing a blank.  Now I realize you are on #10.  I also see that you have it teed up pretty high and it looks like you've got a driver in hand.  You were going for the green!  How did it work out??

From the looks of his post, they won the tourney, so I'm gonna assume it worked out pretty well ;)

Ironwood Golf Course - 36 holes

http://www.ironwoodgolfcourse.com/

My Favorite Par 5 on the Course

This is the one I call pinched nerve.  It is a Par 5 that is up the hill with a dog leg right. It is about 270 to run out the fairway. You have to thread the needle with the tree lined fairway.  It begins a stretch of three tough finishing holes.

This is the next hole that is also pretty tough, a downhill shot with long iron off the tee, and you have to land it in about a 30 yard area to have a shot at the green as it turns sharply to the left.  235 to run out to the end.

Great sunrise this morning, I need to get some waterproof shoes though.  The grass was a bit wet.

The green of my favorite par 4.

    • Has anyone played around with "My Strategy?"  It seems they've revamped it -- I remember not liking the interface a while ago.  Today I went over a course I play semi-often and was able to designate a tee box for each hole, then choose a a club and target direction and it put my scatter pattern for that club off the tee, showing average SG for fairway / rough / bunker (if appropriate) / green.  I could change the club and see how another behaved.  It wasn't clear to me what I can gain from this, or where the follow-up shot supposedly originates, but it is neat to look at it on a map. What motivated me is that I'm debating taking less than driver on one of the par-4s next time I play this course, probably 4-Wood.  I have found myself, sometimes off of a good tee shot, playing my second shot from the tree line, as the fairway slopes strong left to right.  I don't think I've even had a near-GIR on that hole in 2026 (6 rounds at this course), and it's my second-worst strokes-gained hole, playing to an average of 5.3 for me -- the only worse is a hole where I've hit an O.B. en route to a bogey and also managed a triple bogey another round. Scattering my 4W pattern off that tee shows a higher strokes gained, but then again, hitting that club is far from a guarantee I won't fade it a bit and roll into the tree line, now further back from the green.  And I haven't hit a bunted driver in a while, maybe I need to practice that shot, but that isn't something this feature can show (since it doesn't know why my tee shots ended up where they did).  Then again, it might not know where I was aiming for my tee shots either. On a related note, I am finding their course analysis tool interesting, especially when I can sort by strokes gained average and also determine which hole(s) I'm playing to what stroke average.  Interesting that the #2 and #4 handicap I'm averaging under bogey, while 5-6-7 and 12 handicap holes I'm averaging over bogey.  The hole I described a moment ago is the #12 handicap.
