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.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
