On the Course, my favorite shots to watch are:
the guy using a some sort of fairway wood or a 3wood, for a 160-170 yard Par 3. Almost always it goes over, slices or dribbles.
The ones where by golly they are going to hit over the pond or else.
Yea, else. That happend a few days ago, I told the golf newbie to hit a 7i to the left and set himself up for the green. NOOOO, he insists on a water ball. The Reality of this hole, is the pond is big, and gives you only about 35 yards of fairway at one point. you are either safe or you are not. nothing in between.
Same guy, on a dog left left, I advised him to hit a 6 or 7 and just put it in the fairway. thats what I do, too many lost-ball woods on the right.
NOooooo. 4 balls lost in the woods. I step up with a 6i, put it in the fairway. on the green before he is halfway done
Next Hole, big wide ,deep creek 70 yards ahead. Lost-ball-woods to the right. Again, advised to use an iron get it over the creek I tell him.
NOPE. 1st ball into the creek. 2nd ball into the creek. 3rd ball into the woods....
On that hole is when I put the petal to the metal, skipped him, his slow buddies, 2 holes and actually got to play golf. hehehehe
I may sux at golf, but I pride myself on course managment and quick play (ok I learned that the hard way)
