I will use my hybrid for tee shot and make sure it's on fairway.
It's a tough hole, The worst thing here is a slice.
But thank god, it's not long. | t*******t
发帖数: 1656 | 4 The tough part:
tee shot has to be straight
approach has to be accurate
agree with you that slice is worst ... almost guaranteed to swim and drown.

发帖数: 1656 | 6 yes the opening from the tee box is very narrow.
It challenges my nerve every time ... I know I cannot miss either left or
right. Cannot slice. No room for draw. Has to be dead straight.
Also, there are lots of noise from the freeway as there is an off-ramp right next to the tee box. I worry if I hit a sky-ball, I might hit it over the trees to the right and damage a car or even cause an accident.
The good thing as a short-hitter here is that I do not worry about hitting
too long into the water in front of green. :)

发帖数: 3067 | 8 Look from the picture, from tee box to water is about 290 or more.
If I play it, I would just drive, and pitch to green. No need fancy, maybe a
baby draw is good too. But bottom-line, don't over think it, just drive.
yes, it is not long, and the fairway is relative generous. Perfect for drive
+ pitching.

发帖数: 382 | 9 I still think Driver is too risky here, the landing area is small for a
driver distribution. Much better for a hybrid or irons.
It ranks #1 with reasons. in my view drive + pitch shall not apply here.
narrow tee shot, water everywhere, this is the hole call for precision but distance.
BTW, after a hybrid (200~240 depends on who), you end up with 110~140 yards, what a drive shot will give you more?

发帖数: 3067 | 10 well,
now the most dependable club in my bag is my driver. and least dependable

I would drive 240-270 with 75 ~ 105 to green. 105 is my pitching, 90 is my
52, and 75 is my 56
the goal is to hit a full-swing wedge, and take the water out of play with
high trajectory. so the ball can stop quick on the green.

发帖数: 398 | 14 From the tee box and fairway, it is definitely favor draw shot than slice.
Right side has a big pond and have a risk of OB(highway, fence). but if you
draw too much to the left side of the fairway, your second shot will not
easy if the pin is on the left.
I will try hit a hybrid with a draw aiming the left-edge of right side pond.
usually 3 hybrid draw will give me 200-210 yard. The second shot will be a
8iron 130-140 cut to approach left or middle of the green, depends on the
pin location.
It seems fairway has a down slope from left side to right, and right pond is
the lowest point? | t*******t
发帖数: 1656 | 15 fairway is actually slightly sloping from right to left with a ridge around
the cart path near the pond at right (seems google is using a old picture).
I considered hitting a draw, but the opening from blue tee is too narrow
maybe 5-7 yards wide. So I ended up just hitting straight.

发帖数: 2325 | 18 definitely use the most precise club of that round, or most precise club of
your recent swing form.
any club getting tee ball to around 200 yard is good enough. if your 210y or
230yard club is not precise or stable, don't use them.
for me, scored terribly on some similiar short par4 < 350yard using driver.
so far i found that i got best results when i tee off with 6i/5i.
however, even with the most confident & precise club in hand, still need
focus to make a good swing, rather than 大意打烂你感觉最准的球杆。

发帖数: 2325 | 19 majority of my very few bird/eagle come from
very short wedge shot made possible by good drive on par4
or 10-20ft putt made on drive green on short par4
or 100 yard or so wedge shot on par3
if only made those memorable 4-10 feet putts, bird count would have doubled.
so to make more birds:
putter, wedge, driver are the clubs i practise mose.
unfortunately, iron PW-3i never produced me any birdie, but it did gave me 1-2 <10ft putt opportunities.
recently i saw some birdies made by partners, but most of them are long putt
made, sometimes very long putt made. so still on putter not iron.

发帖数: 382 | 20 I think this is a classic course management delimma.
To me, for the hardest hole of the course, and I have never played well on
it yet. My expectation is to make Par, or avoid Doubles. not make a birdie.
for example, when I face a hole over 550 yards, I know it requires 3 shots
to green. I may tee with a 3 wood instead of driver, etc.
Golf have a management & strategy portion on top of the execution. that's
where a big portion of fun and value resides.

发帖数: 3067 | 21 for sure, that is a personal preference thing.
Since I just birdie a similar hole, boundary oaks #8, 335 from blue tee. no
water in front of green, but water is along right hand-side fairway.
Against wind, I drove 260, and 80 to pin with full swing of 56 degree.
Recently there is no rain, the green was hard and very fast, others play
save with hybrid tee off, with 150 left, ball can not stop on the green,
roll to back rough. 1 chip, 2 putts, bogey.
I just don't feel comfortable to carry 140 or 150, (if you tee off with
hybrid at Sunnyvale #8), to reach the green, since it is very hard to stop
the ball on the green, most likely ball would land on green, but roll off
green.
again, that is just personal preference. it is all about knowing your own
game, and manage the course your own way.

发帖数: 3067 | 22 well, decent, depends on whats standard?
I checked my scorecard of that 9 holes (back 9) I played with you at
Callippe.
Yes, most holes are 2 putts, I guess that is why you got the impression that
my putting was not too bad.
But #11 par4, huge uphill hole, luckily, i was 2 on, 4 putts. Another, #15,
par3, my tee was on the green, but took me 3 putts. total 20 putts for 9
holes.
I played boundary oaks twice, both times, ended up with 42 putts. for #5 and
#6, I was GIR for both of them, and 4 putts for each of them.

发帖数: 382 | 24 I do not play touranment offen, sometimes there are club touraments.
But I do care about my total scores and try to maintain my handicap lower
than 10.
for example, today, my front nice was 41 with 1 birdie, 2 bogyes and 2
double bogyes. My back nice was 39 with 3 bogyes. The 2 double bogyes killed
my score. I think I should avoid those at any cost to have a decent score.
Course management is for sure a way.
