2 at LSU use to drive me nuts. 200 yards and always seems to be windy


5 at uclub psychs you at but if you hit the right club well it isn't too hard.


16 at Uclub sucks

Same. What is it, 207ish blind uphill? No room on the right with the railroad tracks.

do not ask my why, but for somebody who never hooks his hybrid. i hook that shot literally every time. i have to use my rangefinder to get a yardage but a 75 yard wedge from the left side actually isnt that terrible at all

The first par 3 on the back 9 at Beaver Creek can be tough (the one where you have to carry about 170 yards of "stuff"), but at least you can miss long and be safe.

It's 150 carry at most

That's a pretty easy hole aside from being a little long

Not if your long irons are sketchy like mine

I actually played it with a 5-wood last time and landed just short of pin-high and to the right. Probably would have been over the green if I caught it just right. Anything in the 175 range is tricky for me.

Sounds a lot like #2 at Atchafalaya.

I hit it with my 7i (not playing tips) last time we played. Made par. 1st time I've ever played that hole like it was intended and made par. Normally, I take a 8i and hit short but straight. Then on close in 2 and pray for a par putt.

The one that kills me is number 2 at LSU and number 4 at Bluffs.

No love for 5 at Oak Harbor? 215 from the tips with water all right and short and depending on wind typically blowing from left to right.

Lots of places to bail out there. Not that hard to par.
