This event took place at Teachers Billiards, a sports bar/pool hall in the suburb of St. Peters, west […]


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 […]


How to shoot -30 on Golden Tee

By • Updated: Jan 3rd, 2009 • Category: Features, Improvement, Miscellaneous

This question is pretty common among people who are just picking up the game. If you’re a casual player, you might average somewhere around -10 and think you’re pretty decent, but then you see that someone somewhere somehow shot -30 on this very course, leaving you completely baffled! How is this possible? What am I […]


Add “The Chush” to your arsenal!

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Miscellaneous

There’s a new shot being talked about, and it might add an extra holeout or two to your round with enough practice!  It’s called “The Chush”!  There was an article on this but it was removed…basically you pull back to your knees or so and push the ball straight forward with the middle of your palm (or […]

As I’ve bridged the gap from 2008 to 2009, I’ve noticed several things to keep in mind during the course of a round that can save you several strokes if you account for them. Alternatively, you can lose even more strokes if you fail to take these tips into consideration! So before you go out […]

Early reviews for Golden Tee 2009’s Bonnie Moor

By • Updated: Nov 13th, 2011 • Category: Bonnie Moor

Here’s what the players are saying early on about Golden Tee’s new 2009 course Bonnie Moor! AMJ — GT Par is -30. Jeff S — Front has a lot of scoring opportunities. A lot of eagle opportunities on the front, watch out for the tall grass!!! Placement with a 3W or 4W is key sometimes […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

We open up with a long par 4, but it’s straight and flat with a huge green — you should have no problem putting your approach shot close for birdie. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Bonnie Moor — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This par 4 is drivable more times than not, but you can also be pinned up against the wall on the right, or you can be on the far back left of the tee box.  If you’re in one of these spots, you most likely cannot drive the green, so leave yourself a nice approach […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This par 3 is a bit tricky because it’s a long way downhill!  And you know by now that the wind is going to affect your shot at least twice as much on the way down.  You almost certainly do not want backspin here unless it’s a front pin with wind at your back, because […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

The tee shot here is all about distance control, and you’ll almost always be using a 3-wood.  Aim for the little gap between the right-most bunkers — you’ll want to stick your tee shot just over the tall grass and just short of the bunker.  The key is to carry the tall grass but use […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #5: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

Depending on the wind and tee box, you’ll be doing one of three things off the tee.  Most often, I like to rotate to the right 2 or 3 times and play a big C3 with roll out to the second fairway.  This way, you’re taking advantage of the slope and direction of the fairway.  […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This par 4 is not tough to drive the green if you get the distance right.  You’ll have an offset look at the green, and it’s a long way downhill again, so you’ll have to pull back at the correct angle (if necessary to pull back) to put you on the green close to the […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This par 3 can sometimes set up really tough if the pin is in the front.  Why?  Because both tall grass and bunkers guard the front of the green, so it’ll be really difficult to get the ball close to the front of the green!  Use as much loft as you can here, and err […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

Here’s another hole where the tee shot is crucial, and it can be really easy to really tough depending on your tee box placement.  You have to get the ball at least to the middle of the neck of the fairway to have a shot at the green in two, and being in the fairway […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This par 4 is usually really tough to eagle.  If you’re tucked off to the right and close to the hill, don’t worry about trying to drive the green — you’ll just end up in the water.  Lay out in the fairway and take your shot at eagle. From anywhere else, you’ll have somewhere from […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 26th, 2014 • Category: Bonnie Moor

In rare cases, this green can be driven with a huge C3 drive from the front-right of the box…check out this incredible ace! Otherwise, just pick a fat part in the fairway and tee off with backspin to hold this spot.  Don’t go too far or the tall grass will inhibit your approach.  The key […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This par 4 will set you up anywhere along a very wide tee box and have you shoot into 1 of 2 different greens.  The difficulty depends on how much you have to hook around the hill on the way to the green.  If you’re in the middle of the tee box, you’ll have to […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This hole has a big-time shortcut you should be using every time.  Rotate left of the green and aim directly at the big hill on the left — you’re going to want to put your drive at the top of this hill either with a 3-wood or driver with roll.  Approaching the green from here […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #13: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

The green on this par 3 has the most severe slope ever seen in Golden Tee — usually 12 degrees and sometimes even 13!  Tee boxes are spread all around this green, so you’ll see lots of looks into this crazy hard green.  My advice is to let the slope do the work for you […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

Multiple tee boxes give you many different looks, but they’ll all be from a similar distance — anywhere from a driver to a 5-wood.  If you can avoid using a driver, you’ll want the extra loft here, since you have to carry water and an elevated cliff into this green. Notice where the pin is […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

You can have a couple different tee boxes here, and you should think about your tee shot before just punching it out there.  Because the approach shot here is so tough (you have to shoot uphill and over tall grass into this green), you’re going to want as much loft as you can use.  In […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bonnie Moor

This is a fun par 5 that will almost always challenge your ability to maximize distance!  About half the time you’ll be able to carry down to the second fairway with a huge A1 or C3 off the tee, and then you’ll have a great shot at eagle after your approach. If you can’t carry […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

Here’s a really tough par 3 that can easily put a damper in your round.  You’ll have looks from both sides into this green such that it might slope right 10 degrees or left 10 degrees, and you’ll often have to maneuver a small hook against the slope to give you a birdie putt.  Water […]


Bonnie Moor — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Bonnie Moor

Bonnie Moor finishes with a really fun and creative par 4 that’s always drivable but sometimes really tough!  The ideal setup is one where you can float a 5-wood or 3-wood straight towards the green, over the final concrete wall, and backspin to hold the green.  You don’t always have the privilege of this shot […]
