Royal Cove — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 18th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

You’ll be cutting your tee shot around the right side to give yourself an eagle putt here.  Here’s a dunk with a 5-wood with a pretty straight look, and here’s a 3-wood with a small cut around the corner.  It’s usually not too bad unless the wind is blowing right.  If you miss anywhere, miss […]

Grand Canyon — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 7th, 2012 • Category: Grand Canyon

This hole looks harder than it actually plays.  Rotate right a couple clicks and play a C2.5-type shot with a hard cut around the mountain, usually with backspin.  This helps the ball come back left and gives you a better angle at the green.  No matter where you end up off the tee, you should […]

Auburn Glen — Hole #9: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 3rd, 2012 • Category: Auburn Glen

Most of the time, you should be aiming at the fairway straight ahead, especially with a tailwind!  Take a high tee and see if you can get past, or at least stay left, of the sand traps there.  Here’s a hole-out from the fairway after a long drive straight ahead.  It’s not as far as you think […]



Indigo Mound — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 1st, 2012 • Category: Indigo Mound

Indigo Mound — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 1st, 2012 • Category: Indigo Mound

Indigo Mound — Hole #14: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 1st, 2012 • Category: Indigo Mound

You can usually cut the corner over the sand to give yourself a closer approach, which is nice if you have the lofted woods.  Otherwise, you may lay up behind the sand in the first fairway for a 5-wood approach — this one was played well into a front pin. This 3-wood barely got up […]

You can try to cut the corner through the trees, but it’s usually not worth it.  Here’s an outstanding recovery after the tee shot found trouble through the trees. Here’s an example hole-out from the fairway after laying out to the left, and here’s another one-hop hole-out.
