The 6th hole is 400 yard par 4 from the whites, but they had them back where the blues generally are.....which are generally around 430 yards. Splitting the difference for arguments sake I'll say 415 yards.
I hit my tee shot and it ended up just inside the 150 yard marker...probably just like 5 yards inside or so leaving me about 145 to the pin.
If my math is right it was around a 270 yard drive.
Even at the normal white tee distance of 400 yards it would have been a 250 yard drive, which for me with an 8.5* driver is plenty.
I had GIR twice this week on this hole...with my back pulled out/pinched nerve or something that is making me hurt like all hell. Golf helps it not hurt so bad for some reason, as long as I dont go too nuts.
Damned near had GIR on it today but I had a serious head wind that felt like a good two clubs worth, so I clubbed up 2 clubs and ended up about 1 clubs worth behind the green
Also had my longest drives on the first and fourth holes today too.
