Original: Classic Roc BH
New: With that tunnel and distance, probably two or three Proxy BHs and a putt
 
Original: Who knows.

New: Probably a couple Star Leopards and hope to be close enough to putt.
 
Sidewinder or Comet shots down the tunnel, depending on what's clicking that day.
 
Man, this is a tough looking hole. Especially considering the dropoff on the right.

548 pin: Roc, roc
670 pin: Roc, roc, approach
 
Ugh! Looks like my nemesis hole 5 @ Fallasburg in Lowell, MI. 500' uphill tunnel. SUCH a hard hole for me...

Orignial pin: A few RHBH hyzerflipped FDs, finish with a RHFH MOAB to get the dogleg right finish.

Long pin/New pin: Same RHBH hyzerflip FD off the tee, finish with a beat S-PD to get the corner left.
 
Probably Mako3 or Comet a few times, hoping to keep it in the tunnel.
 
You want to make sure you land in the middle of the fairway. I throw a beat-up flippy Roc twice down the fairway for the easy approach and putt with a Wizard.
 
If you end up anywhere left on this hole you are in horrible jail. Forced to pitch out 8/10 times. To the right there is a drop off but it's not as bad as being left.

I would go two shots with the meteor or maybe try to put my MJLS down there a bit if I was feeling brave.
 
I'm shaking in my boots. Probably Z undertaker RHBH from the tee. Then I'll plan to work my scramble game.
 
Proxy from start to finish. Hope for a 4 happy with a 5.

Watch my buddies throw fairway drivers and mids and each shoot 6 or 7 because of pitch-outs.
 
This is on my bucket list of courses, after seeing it so much on DGM videos.

I'm not throwing anything that isn't a midrange here. Probably would put a comet in the bag for this course specifically, and throw it a lot. Hope to play for a 4 leading with a z comet off the tee.
