It's all good, man. I appreciate the discussion. The hole slopes right, towards the penalty area. That's the part just past the cart path that isn't mowed. You can land a ball on the fairway that ends up in it if the ground is firm enough. Everything that's brown in the satellite image isn't rough. It's fescue, which even during this time of year is tall enough that just finding a ball in it can be hard. Bunkers might as have red stakes around them - I read that in a book, once. So having set that table, here's what the shot cone looks like if I try to play for what you're suggesting: I just don't see that as the optimal play. I need to get out of there with no worse than 5, not try to make 3 and end up with 6 or more. It's a short hole and my strength is in my iron play. I'm actually oddly not much better from 50-100 yards than I am from 100-150 yards. It's like a 4% difference in green success rate and 8' closer in proximity. I don't see that as worth putting trouble into play off the tee for. -

Day 137 & 138- Forgot to post yesterday but same thing. Slow, short swings with short practice club. -

I actually did post a video of my swing today. Those are total distances from my Garmin watch. I don't have as good of an idea with my carry distances. I should go to a range with Trackman some day and get them recorded. -

@StKildaSenators ok I haven't been on the site for a bit and just got back on to see what's going on and stuff. Great site. Here is my 2 cents worth. 1) Get a video of your swing and post per their instructions, you will get some great insight into what's going on. Especially with the Driver. 2) Find an Instructional Pro, someone who teaches and has a Trackman or such, films every last swing you make. Goes over the video with you and works thru your game. You will be amazed if you stick to this how quick a Driver corrects with dedication to what your instructor is telling you to do. Also, I bet the instructor fixes your Fairway wood, personally I would gravitate to a 5 Wood as that is - for me - easier to handle and hit square so the distance is just as good as a 4 Wood for me. As you grow with your instructor you will figure out how your bag should be set up. Man, if you can hit a 60 why bag a 64? Just me but learning all the ins and outs of a 60 is darn tough, a 64 with a GHIN like yours and mine (16.0 at the moment) is just crazy stuff. But and what this site in the past has pushed doubt it's changed - get that Driver going, it's the fastest way to put yourself into position to drop your scores. Also - the yardage you mention per club. Is that carry or total yards? When it comes to this wonderfully crazy game Carry Yards are what you have to know. Total yards change day to day based upon course conditions and such. Carry is your game. My single most important tip - HAVE FUN - with this crazy game. Learn how to enjoy the sideways shots as well as the one's that keep you coming back. The golf swing is one hellava athletic move, no one ever masters it. -

My golf strategy isn’t very good so please accept this as me learning rather than challenging. For the second hole, is there a significant fall off to the left or penal rough? Why not hit a longer club over the bunkers (centred closer to fairway)? Half the time you hit fairway and the other half is a 70 yard shot from the rough?
