My home track is very penal, so there are any number of holes I can detail for a thread like this...   With that said, this is one of the signature golf holes.

#15.......572-592yd par 5 that plays down a ribbon of fairway with a massive ravine bisecting the hole.  The teeing area is out of frame to the left.  There is nowhere to bail on this hole.....

If I can hit a nice drive in the fairway and a near perfectly straight 5-wood crossing the ravine to the narrow ribbon of right-fairway short of the green.......I can wedge on and make an easy birdie.   LOL.....lots of IFS!!!    The green slopes into the canyon so it's possible to hit the green and spin the ball off into the canyon.  Missing the green to the right onto the hill is no bargain either......good luck hitting the green from topside!!   My recommendation for playing this hole ........"Bring extra balls". The only way to play this golf hole is to "MAN UP" and play two long straight shots....and then you'll be rewarded with a wedge into the green with a look at birdie.

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver
- Big Bertha Alpha 815 3-wood
- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs
-- Mizuno Mx-25 six iron-gap wedge
- Mizuno Mp-T4 56degree SW
- Mizuno Mp-T11 60degree SW
- Putter- Ping Cadence Ketsch

My best friend is a member at Baltimore Country Club at Five Farms - The 2nd hole on the East Course, although only 440 yards has OB left the entire length of the hole and any bailout of a drive to the right, leaves you in the heavy rough with the green blocked by very tall trees. Then the green sits up from the fairway, so that any shot short rolls back down the hill and the green is extremely sloped from back to front and any shot long is extremely difficult.  This hole gives me fits every time.  A par on this hole feels like a birdie.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By TourSpoon ·

      I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year!

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
