This from the 11th hole par 3 tee box at Crystal Springs in NJ, the green is about 100 ft below, the view from down there is just as nice, you can barely see people in the tee box. Parred it! [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/132249/] [/URL]

Now that is a cool par 3 :-)

Nice! Here's ours along the same lines (just pop some nice music on in the background!) - there is a Peter Aliss version as well, but slightly lower quality:

I didn't play real well last week in Pinehurst, but I took a few photos at MidPines, one of my favorite courses in the area.  First, the view down the first fairway:

565e27e881b1c_hole1.thumb.jpg.dcd08122d0

An inviting drive down the hill, but then uphill to a deep contoured green.

Next, the green at the par-5 10th hole.  A small green, very well protected.565e27e4307c4_No10.thumb.jpg.384181df3b3

That little gap into the green is a steep false front, pretty common at this course.  

Third, the 15th, another par-5.565e27e5bcbce_No15.thumb.jpg.387a0a0ec64

Seemingly easy, after a good drive you'll be hitting this shot from a downhill, right-to-left slope..  If you hit the draw that seems natural off that lie, the ball is ending up left of the green, unless you've aimed into the trees on the right and carried the bunker on that side.  Notice the severe false front, and the long roll-off to the left of the green.  Last, the 18th:

One of my favorite finishes in golf.  This terrace has the best 19th hole view in the Pinehurst area.

#17 at Green Hills in Ravenswood West Virginia.  It looks much prettier in the summer, but its still decent looking in February.  The back nine of the course is shorter than the front and requires more precision off the tee to compensate.  This hole is the shortest of the short par 4s and the only one feasibly reachable by the common man (276 yards from whites) as you hit it off a mountain.  The bunker on the right comes into play for those going for the green while the one on the left can cause problems for lesser hitters off the tee or those who want to take a iron/wood off the tee depending on how far you hit it.  The hole is short enough that one can get away with a short iron/wedge on both the tee and the approach if they so desire.  I'd say its is the course's signature hole, due to the view you get in the middle of summer.

    • Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.  
    • Tell me about it - shouldn’t have second guessed…
    • My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.
    • MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
