Course Map looks like it was done in crayon.

Fun, fun course!
 
Don't recall how much it does or doesn't open up down the fairway...prolly throw an Ibex nice'n'easy just to stay in the fairway.
 
Axis off the tee to stay in the fairway.
See where to go from there.

this course will host the Indiana State Championships this July.
 
I think I'm going to either go with the KC Pro Roc or the Banshee on aslight hyzer to make the turn and stay in the fairway. From there probably either another Roc shot or Ion.
 
From the map, it looks like it opens up around the bend.

Probably Star Teebird, and then go from there.
 
might do a placement shot with a stalker and play it safe. if its risk/reward for a longer shot around that bend ill go ppd
 
All that stuff on the right side is gone now, much easier tee shot.

Safe play is a RHBH hyzer to the open area, around 250'. Then FH or OH approach shot depending on the pin. The approach is not easy - uphill with low branched trees - getting a 4 on either of the longs is OK by me usually.
 
Envy to clear the corner, upshot with an appropriate mid, possibly an aviar.

that rough looks rough.
 
I think last time I played this I went Firebird, putter, putter.

Well in that case... i'll throw a vector
 
hmm looking like RHBH Zone or Firechicken off the tee to get around the bend.. after that hard to say lol :p
 
I uploaded a couple of more photos of Hole 10 that I took last August while I was at Pro Worlds Lemon Lake.

The bushes on the right were there and still pretty thick as well.

Star TeeBird off the tee for placement

Looks like I am starting out with a Star Teebird, and from there it will just depend on the lie. Most likely it will be a KC Glo Roc up then putter shot, possibly 2.
