I agree.  I don't see a problem with the hole at all.  Long hitters will hate it because it's going to be a DAMN hard hole to get to in 2.  Those of us that play the vast majority of our par-5's as 3 shot holes will enjoy watching the bombers have to think a bit for a change.

Not really. This is how I would play the hole myself. I would have about 175 left to the hole.

I think the harder scenario is for those who don't have the distance because now you are laying up aiming at the OB thru the fairway. You have to guess the right yardage to hit that gap or you might end up going OB long or end up short and have no shot.

Yeah it's too bad...I got a hold of it, but the trajectory was just a hair too low and the tree got a snack. Was just happy to still be in bounds.


Hold that loft with your right hand!

Just laughing with you... been there a lot with the driver.. if height may be an issue, do you have a 17-19 club? Because that usually does the trick and is fairly straight off the tee. But whenever I try to avoid trees near or jutting into the fairway (or sometimes in the center of the fairway), the ball generally finds them. Maybe I need to ignore them (it all in the head and alignment).

I have a 19, but I was afraid to hit it, since my last shot with it was duffed haha.

I normally would have no problem hitting my 3 that high, but something was different with my swing, causing it to go lower.

And @saevel25 is exactly right...twice. If you can bomb a drive out there to the right, you're left with a <200 yard shot to the green. It's tight, but it can be done. I've hit a few that gave me a line to the green, but I've never been man enough to go for it haha. Also, the OB in the way on shot 2 if you lay up has gotten me multiple times.

      Just because it's a small league at a county course doesn't mean their couldn't be a small group of people who take on the role/responsibility of ensuring the rules are properly enforced and being the rules committee for your league   That's the whole point of GUR. It's a temporary thing. Also like I mentioned before, since you're playing on the same course it's highly likely this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to a bunker on this course.   There's nothing that needs changed though. There is the rule for how the situation is supposed to be handled as well as an alternative for how it could have been handled differently via a committee. Just because your league chooses not to have a committee doesn't mean the rules of golf need changed for everyone.   Absurd logic. You and your opponent can't just agree on rules and make things up as you go. If it's just a 1v1 match for fun, sure do whatever you want. In an actual league with other competitors, no shot. Everyone needs to play by the same rules. How would you feel if someone else in the league took a casual drop on a different hole and their playing partner agreed with it but you didn't agree with it and you found out about it later?

      I suggest you actually read some of the Rules, either online or on the USGA (or R&A) phone app.  Here's the Definition of Committee: You have a small league, whoever is in charge of that league is the Committee.  This would be the same person (group) who might decide that you should play Lift Clean and Place (Modal Local Rule E-3), to institute the "leaf rule", (MLR F-14), or that you should move a ball out of aerification holes (MLR E-4).

      Website. And yeah I was asking about the specifics within those sections under the performance tab. I guess the strokes gained by distance like you noted is probably a good place to start. This would indicate that my wedges need practice, which I figured as much so I'm not surprised by that   Some of the other ones specifically around the short game I struggle to make sense of what it actually means. Like I know this chart is measuring the percentage of the time that I get the ball within certain proximity ranges but I don't know from a quick glance at this where I need to improve.   But then again I guess these two would seem to indicate that it's chipping inside 25yds from the rough that has the most room for improvement? Does it seem like I'm interpreting that right?

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. The safeguard is that you have to check with your  opponent to make sure he agrees with the drop, why should you need a committee for that?
