HOD 12/2/14: Golden Gate Park DGC Hole 16 in San Francisco, CA

I am playing C

Because the basket is clearly in the C position I am side arming a 175g Star Max around the mando, curving left of the pines and hoping it rides back near the basket. Cool Hole!

GGP #16 is slightly uphill overall, maybe 5-10 elevation gain. The fairway slopes significantly right-to-left, then rises near the green with drop-offs behind. Plays about 30 feet longer than it measures. (The B position is straighter and more uphill, playing over 300 feet.)

The mandatory forces the right-to-left flight to avoid OB (and other park users) in the meadow to the left.

The ideal route is the early, medium height right-to-left with something flat-stable that doesn't fade too hard. Lefties definitely need to take this route.

The alternate route, often a lucky mistake, is the higher, harder hyzer with something more stable which fades left fairly hard at the end.

my error. the longer uphill position is the C position, which measures 289 and plays roughly 340.

Really fun course right in the middle of awesome San Francisco.

Id throw a judge, or maybe a truth to play the slope a little.

I'm thinking pretty straight, down the pipe with my Echo Star Leopard straight or a tad of hyzer, on 75% power, concentrating on technique than powering a Roc down the same path.
