Duke Golf League - Falls Village
I shot a 57. I only used my driver on the first hole and sliced it into the woods. I tried using my 5 iron only off tees for several holes then used my 3 wood for the last three holes. I did not lose any more balls but I still need to be able to chip and putt around the green to score.
First hole - Par 4 357 yards across a creek on the drive - I sliced my drive into the woods near the creek on the first hole. Then I dropped near the creek and hit my hybrid about 100 yards down the right side of the fairway. I was about 125 yards from the green on the right side and hit my 8 iron off the toe into the woods and lost my second ball on the first hole. I dropped near where the ball went into the woods and hit a lob wedge on to the green about 30 feet away. I then two putted for a snowman (8) to start the round. I put my driver away for the night.
Second hole - Par 4 373 yards across the pond - 5 iron cleared the water then 6 iron to 135 yards and a 7 iron to the hill behind the green where I chipped off the hill to the edge of the green about 45 feet above the hole and three putted for a triple bogey 7.
Third hole - Par 3 167 yards - hit my 5 hybrid to the front edge of the green and three putted for a 4. My best hole of the night and only bogey.
Fourth hole - Par 4 416 yards with a creek across the front of the green - I hit my 5 iron about 150 down the middle of the fairway and followed with a second 5 iron to the end of the fairway about 125 yards from the middle of the green. I hit my eight Iron about 5 yards short of the green then chipped on and 2 putted for a double bogey 6.
Fifth hole - Par 4 392 yards with a slight dogleg left - I hit my 5 iron down the middle about 150 yards and hit it again about 150 yards to 100 yards where I hit my pitching wedge on to the front of the green about 50 feet below the hole and three putted for double bogey 6.
Sixth hole - Par 3 174 yards sand traps across the front with a 15 foot opening to get on the green - I hit my 3 hybrid to the back of the green and the ball rolled past the green. I chipped barely on and three putted from 45 feet for a double bogey.
Seventh hole - par 5 dogleg right with a pond in front of the green - I hit my fairway wood (218 yards according to my Sky Caddie) hit my 5 hybrid 6 inches behind the ball and took my mulligan then curled one into the pond. dropped by the pond on the line where I went in and hit my 8 iron on to the green and three putted for another 7.
Eight hole - Par 4 403 yards over a creek about 160 yards from the tee - I hit my fairway wood about 163 yards then hit my 3 hybrid about 125 yards down the left side of the fairway. From there I hit an 8 iron to pin high just off the right side of the green where it hit the slope and bounced into the rough on the other side of the cart path. I chipped over the green and had to chip back then two putt for a triple bogey 7.
Ninth hole - Par 5 490 yards with a double dog leg right off the tee and left before the green - I hit my fairway wood about 100 yards short and right so I had to hit back into the fairway on my next shot and get out far enough to get around the first dogleg. I then hit another fairway wood down the middle of the fairway to about 100 yards from the green. From there I chipped into one of the traps on the right side of the hole then I chipped out and onto the green and two putted for a double bogey 7.
