Post your “Hole of the Round”

[dlow206]

320 yard short par 4.

1. Hit 3 wood off the tee to try out of trouble because there is water on the right, theoretically should be out of play with 3 wood. Smoke the 3 wood down the middle.

2. Had about 85 yards in, hitting a full 54 degree wedge, pushed it a little bit right but still landed on the green, stopped on a dime

3. good lag putt

4. made the par putt

1st hole #2 Hobbits Glen Par 5-   Normally when I hit a good fade over the trees on the right, I end up going for it and usually end up with a bad result(water, push right into the trees etc) maybe 1 our of 5 ends up on or just short..   Today decided was going to play it smart.   Payed off and sunk a 26' foot putt for the birdie.   Probably haven't learned my lesson and will go for it next time again

 

2nd 16h hole Hobbits Glen Par 3. - This was one of the shots where I did exactly wanted I wanted and had the distance perfect.     Set up or hit a slight fade choose a 7 since pin was back and I knew if I hit it well I could get it back there, but little risk of going over the green.   13' putt for birdie

Ended up with this because it was the only hole last week that I played correctly start to finish. 

Forced layup par 5. You run out of room around 260-270 an if you miss left you run out of room at 220 and will have to punch out to the fairway, still wont have a shot at the green.

3W if I miss is bad, very little room for error and hybrid is honestly a better play but worked out. hit 4i over and just trickled off the fairway. I could go at the green with a 3W again but again is probably even riskier than the tee shot. Ended up 60 out for a nice smooth 60* that released a little bit and had an 11' 2 putt par.

Hopefully next round I have a hole thats a little less vanilla.

Two beautiful holes back-to-back this morning for birdies. Pretty sure they are the best I've played both holes all season, not necessarily from a score standpoint, but from a swing/execution standpoint they were spot on.

First up, the lone par 5 on the back, No. 14. Hit one of my best drives all season on this hole into a 10-12 MPH headwind. GPS had me 225 into the center of the green, decided to go for it with my Super Hybrid because I had a perfect lie in the fairway. Water short and right. Ball came out like a dart right at the pin and landed middle of green and rolled out onto back fringe. Chipped down the hill leaving a three footer that snuck in the right side of the cup for a really quality birdie.

Followed that up on the short par 4 No. 15 hole with the best Super Hybrid I've ever hit from the tee. Really high baby draw that actually landed on the right edge of the green and rolled into the back fringe. Hit a perfectly crisp chip shot with my 58 to four inches and tapped in for bird.

May have been the most beautiful drive I've hit in my life so had to post it here. This fairway goes up a bit (30 feet from tee box to landing area), so to see 299 is fantastic. Left me a pitching wedge that I left to the underside of the hole. Twenty foot eagle putt just missed, leaving a three inch tap-in birdie.

By the way, the "Elevation Profile" in Google Earth Pro is really cool. You can see the difference in elevation between two points by creating a path and then going to "Edit -> Show Elevation Profile":

Man that’s a short par 5. Understand why it is due to the elevation. Nice play!

Yeah, it's listed at 454 on the card. All uphill and it's not uncommon for the fairways to be pretty long. It's become significantly easier though since they had to take out a dead tree on the inner side of the dogleg (satellite imagery doesn't show that yet). 

But to your point, there's a reason why the rating/slope is 69.4/114 from the back tees. It's not overly long and pretty forgiving as long as you don't find out of bounds around the perimeter of the course or get stuck too deep into the trees between holes.

My hole of the round today was hole number 7 on my home course. It is a par 3 over water and because there is water this a nemesis hole for me normally. Today it was playing 110 yards according to the Shotscope Pro LX+ range finder and 107 yards to the H4 GPS m testing for the forum. So I went with a nice easy PW. I hit it to 18 feet and 2 putted for par. And as I am finding with my test, I forgot to tag on the tee box.

The new Shot Scope H4 had its maiden round this afternoon and there were some significant trial and errors on my part … played with the H4 clipped to my belt and it’ll take some time to change up my routine and remember to tap the tag to the H4.

Below is not so much my best hole, but def my proudest. It was a bogey 5 for the hole and I’ll need to learn more about how to edit my score.

The drive was my 3rd longest on the day, managed to carry the tree line, but got an unlucky sloping hard kick to the left … left me just to the right at the base of a tree with low overhanging branches on my line directly at the pin. Had an opening that required me to aim way out to the right of the green and draw it in. Not my stock shot, which is a slight fade. 

Clubbed up with the gap wedge, choked down on the grip with the ball in the back of my stance, took a half-somewhat check swing … and somehow managed to flight the ball below the branches, carry the pond and draw it to the right edge of the fringe. And hot damn did it feel great to pull that shot off.  

My joy was somewhat nullified … putted my 3rd from just off the fringe and got to about 5ft … just burned the edge on my 5 footer, tapped in for bogey.

I find the web interface is nicer for editing holes. I forget to tag things all of the time so I'm in there frequently.

Nice approach! Always fun to pull those kinds of shots off.

9 Hole Men's league match play last night, playing against the #1 team. My partner was on the green in 6, time for me to step up as one of our opponents was on the same putting line as myself but 3' closer to the pin. I dropped in a 12' putt for a bird, he missed the putt even though he saw my line. At the end of 9 we won the match by 2 and knocked them out of first place and advanced our team to #1.

Aaah! Knew there had to be an easier way than thru the app. Thanks Cody!

6th hole at Curlewis Golf Club. 430 yards into a 2 club wind after an inch of overnight rain. Solid tee shot on the perfect line to shorten the hole. Decided I needed to go with 7 wood into the green. Absolutely flushed a little draw to about 12 feet. Rolled in a slightly downhill right to left putt that went in dead centre. The rare hole where every shot was close to perfect

Have they reversed the 9s or am I just remembering the course backwards?

Yep, reversed the 9’s. Taken me a while to calling them the right number

Eagle on short par 4. Too bad none of us actually saw it go in as it’s an elevated green.

Saturday Club Championship

Hole number 14 452 yard par 4.  This is normally a bogey or worse.  One of the tougher par 4's. Drive is up hill and if you are in the fairway most likely have a side hill lie.    Approach shot is typically long and downhill to a pretty small green.   Pin was tucked back left on Saturday.  Short in the bunker long bounces into the hazard.   Hit a really good drive for me on this hole, for some reason on of the holes I usually don't drive well.   Approach was 175 downhill into the wind.  Decide to go for the pin, hitting a draw off the side hill lie.     Hit the exact shot I saw in my head, slight draw right at the pin.  Ball end up checking up and spinning back leaving me 37' for birdie.  Missed the put about an inch to the right.   I will take par on this hole all day.

The drive of the round was in the 8th hole at 253 yards but for some reason Shot Scope didn’t think I putted and missed that I was on the green. but the 9th hole netted a better score, par. With a 241 yard drive and I nice 2nd shot onto the green for a 2 putt par.
