I went on cruise control today until the 12th hole. Birdied one, bogeyed 5, parred in with some near miss putts, and made a couple long ones to save par.
12 is a long par, 3 shots unless you're with the wind, and even then it's tough. Driver 3 wood still leaves you a pretty decent chip. It's uphill, about 550 yards.
However, here's the b*tch of it all. Driver off the tee brings in all sorts of trouble. Bunkers left, water right and many, many grass bunkers about 280 out.
So, 3 wood it is.
Well, unless you duck hook it into 3 foot fescue and hack your way out with an 8 iron lying 4 from 290 yards out. Awesome. Hybrid gives me a nice little 40 yard pitch, which I then hit what i thought was gonna be dead nuts tight, but it skips down to the back leaving me 60 feet with three breaks. 3 putt, lots of swearing.
Next hole, the dogshit 3 wood comes out of the bag and I hit the green from 294 off the tee on the par 4.
Lagged one down to about 8" and tapped in for bird.
This game is crazy.
