Tip #1

The finishing hole has its most open line on the left of the mid-fairway trees, favoring the left hander somewhat, but there is a lane on the right side, as well. It's just trickier with the hedgerow and the OB sidewalk off to the right of the green. I try to get my Fuse to work its magic and turn right (rhb) from the open side of the fairway.

From the 293' tee pad, hole 23 requires a little bit of finesse to get around left to right and into the open for a look at the basket. I turnover a comet on a higher anny line, but lefties have it a little easier. fyi: Tournament rules make the sidewalk just past the basket OB.

Tip #3

The most open line to the basket is probably set up for a lefty, but there are opportunities straight up the middle, and even a narrow fade gap on the right. Most players can choose their favorite midrange and choose a line. Last time I was here, I tried a Buzzz just right of center (and missed my putt).

Tip #4

The basket is up the fairway, into the woods, and slightly 'blind' to the left. Right handers can reach it with a firm slightly stable midrange (a natural Buzzz hole).

Hole 20 is played with the road left and the fence right as OB, but there's plenty of room for lefties to throw a mid or putter in tot he tree-shaded basket position. My rhbh arm prefers an slightly annied Comet here.

Tip #6
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#14
Typically, the roadway is considered OB, so (depending on wind), I'll throw a stable Tern over it, counting on the rhbh fade at the end, or grab my more neutral one and keep it straight up the grass the whole way.

Tip #7

What used to be hole 13 is still a straight putter or midrange (for me, Comet) ace/deuce opportunity.

Tip #8
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#E
Very difficult to get a good look at a deuce opportunity, hole 17's natural line is to the 90 degree bend (left) past the big tree just 150' or so off the tee. But if you can throw a stable mid (I throw Bard, rhbh) or putter with some finesse to fade around that, you can shorten your approach to the green. Be careful though, the basket is on a rollaway ridge.

Tip #9
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#D
This beautiful tunnel challenge has me pulling out my dependable fairway drivers (beat Teebird or River), and running up the gut. You will struggle with an out shot from the rough on either side if you kick in there much.

Tip #10
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#C
The uphill adds some relative distance this otherwise "250 foot" shot. I have to throw my Tern (driver) again, and keep it low to the hillside slope. Too much elevation, and you fade (rhbh) further and further down the hill and away from the basket.
