The Great Wall — Hole #12: Par 3

By Deprecated: Function the_author_posts_link was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.1.0 with no alternative available. in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6085 • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

Don’t lose sight of the fact that this is a downhill shot, so you may think about clubbing down once off the tee.  If the wind is in your face, try laying off the backspin and just landing on the front of the green, where your ball will trickle down to the middle.  Backspin can […]


The Great Wall — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

A good effort off the tee is required to reach the green on your second shot.  A big A1 is usually best, but you can sometimes cut the corner just as effectively with a straight B2 shot.  Here’s a nice holed-out driver from 301.


The Great Wall — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

This hole is always considered driveable, but sometimes from the back box it can be really tough if you don’t have the right equipment! HOLE-OUT FROM THE FRONT-LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE-RIGHT BOX


The Great Wall — Hole #15: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

Here’s one of the coolest holes in the game, offering you a chance at eagle if you can somehow land your tee shot on top of The Great Wall!  Difficulty depends on the tee box and wind.  Sometimes a straight-forward 5-wood does the job no problem, but other times you’ll have to find the right […]


The Great Wall — Hole #16: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

Find a spot in the rough or the fairway that seems like the best angle towards the flag with the wind conditions.  The approach shot can be tough here, so take a bit of time to strategize your tee shot. I’ve heard that pros are driving this hole on occasion!  One instance involved a B2 […]


The Great Wall — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

Here’s another Yin Yang green, but it’s much more difficult.  As you’ve probably already noticed, the fringe separating the green from the mud will NOT stop the ball — it’s sloped towards the mud.  Actually, it’s like there’s no fringe at all, because if you get too close, that ball is sucked down into the […]


The Great Wall — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

There are several different angles into this green, but almost all of them will be a straight shot towards a particular target on the green.  The green slopes severely down towards the water, so it can make your decision whether or not to use backspin quite difficult.  Usually, if you’re hitting a driver, you want […]

Never putt over the green again!

By • Updated: Jul 17th, 2009 • Category: Putting

It’s happened to all of us — you have a left 9 putt with the pin on the edge of the green, and if you go long, it’s over the cliff or into the water. You don’t necessarily want to lay up for the two-putt, but you can’t afford to miss and plummet over the […]

By • Updated: Jun 9th, 2009 • Category: Features, Improvement

Ever hit a shot and wonder what the heck just happened?  Sure you have — we all go through that as we’re learning the mechanics of the trackball and the game itself, and I still ask the same question every now and then when a shot goes awry.  The worst thing that can happen, though, […]

Heavy cross-wind — pull-back or thumbs?

By • Updated: Jan 15th, 2010 • Category: Approach shots with irons

I got the idea for this post from a player named Kyle in Colorado, who was inquiring about general tips for using thumbs vs. pull back for shots to counteract a side wind. He saw how Sobe and players in these YouTube videos can seemingly control the spin on the shot once it hits the […]

This question is pretty common among people who are just picking up the game.
