Grand Canyon — Hole #15: Par 4

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: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Grand Canyon

Gauge the wind here to determine the tee shot that will give you the best approach into the green.  First, you can rotate left and play a drive straight over to the second fairway.  You may sometimes want a high tee to ensure your distance is enough.  This gives you a clear shot at the […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #16: Par 5

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

This hole presents all kinds of opportunities!  The green can be driven most of the time, but you’ll have to control a deflection off one of a couple rocks while choosing the right club depending on the wind. If the wind is blowing between 3:00 and 6:00, play a high-teed 5-wood with backspin into the […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

In beta, this hole did NOT have a sand trap in front.  If you played the Flares and had a strong wind in your face, you didn’t have much option other than stroke limit, so be thankful you now have somewhat of a bail-out spot! This hole alone makes me want to use Hawks to […]


Grand Canyon — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Grand Canyon

Here you’ll be aiming straight through the small gap straight ahead, to the left of the green.  It’s too risk to try to cut it left to right — instead, shoot straight through and use the hill to the back left of the green to deflect back down onto the green.  There is water left […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Dusty Bend

Lay up towards the end of the first fairway and bring it in for birdie.  Here’s an example 9-wood hole-out.  Don’t take this one for granted — you’ll need to nail your distance with sand short and long. VIDEO DEMO


Dusty Bend — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Dusty Bend

From the back box, there’s no need to cut the corner much here — you don’t want to bring anything but fairway into play!  Poke it out right in a fat part of the fairway and hit a long wood into the green.  Here’s a nice driver hole-out. From the front box, you can curve […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

Don’t forget about the fence guarding the front of the green here — you absolutely cannot be short!  Make sure you have plenty of carry and use bite or backspin to hold the green.  Here is a nice use of bite from the back box. VIDEO DEMO


Dusty Bend — Hole #4: Par 4

By • Updated: Oct 1st, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

Elevation is almost never an issue here if you hit your shot hard with the highest lofted club that you think can get there.  It can be anywhere from a 3-wood to a driver.  It carries well too, as the green is downhill from the tee box.  Long is water — you cannot be there, […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 21st, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

Just aim for the end of the first fairway — you’ll have plenty of club to get there in two, and you won’t bring any danger into play.  Here’s a nice 5-wood hole-out to a front pin.  A 7 or 9-wood will be used often as well.  Make sure you carry the green, and better […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #6: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

Distance off the tee shouldn’t be an issue here — anywhere right of the sand is fine for your approach.  You actually don’t want to hit too far off the tee and bring some of the brush into play just past the fairway, so lay back a bit from the end of that first fairway. […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

This one can be a bit tricky, so always play it safe.  The green basically has a front and back section, so play your tee shot to the middle of whatever section contains the pin.  Bite may be a good option here to get the ball to stick when it lands.  It’s often a 7-wood […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #8: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

This hole is tough to eagle, and an errant tee shot can turn your round in the wrong direction.  Everything slopes towards the water in the front right of the green, so you need to aim well left to avoid the water and a devastating re-tee.  Stay dry, and accept that birdie is a fine […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #9: Par 5

By • Updated: Nov 22nd, 2011 • Category: Dusty Bend

Don’t hit your drive in the blacktop — it’s all out of bounds!  Instead, you’ll have to hit your drive straight out in the fairway, avoiding the sand.  Don’t get it too close to the fence either or your approach won’t clear it!  So the middle of the fairway, quite a ways down, is pretty […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 11th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

You CAN go left around the house to cut some distance off your approach shot, but it’s usually not worth the risk unless you’re sure it’s an easy shot.  Sometimes it is if your tee box puts you in line with that gap, so take advantage of it if it’s there.  Here’s a hole-out from […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Dusty Bend

Here is a shorter par 3 that may test your skills curving a short iron into the wind.  There’s a lot of green to the right, and that’s the safe place to be.  Sometimes you’ll get a really favorable setup, so if you do, try to take advantage — here is a hole-out to a […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #12: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

This hole is fun — you’ll have all kinds of different shots here depending on your tee box and the wind.  The green is deceptively huge, so it’s important to get your shot close to the pin for a manageable putt. From the back left box, here is a high-teed 5-wood from the back left […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

The safest play is something like a high-teed 4-wood to the left side of the left fairway.  This fairway slopes right, so don’t be careless and let one trickle into the water!  At the same time, there’s a semi-hidden building behind what you’re hitting over.  Sometimes it’s directly in your line.  If you play a […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

You will be aiming over the barn to get to the second fairway here.  A high-teed 3-wood clears the barn easily.  If the wind is in your face, high tee a driver and take it just right of the tree between the barn and the house to land safely in the fairway ahead.  Even if […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #15: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

Two options here off the tee — in the demo, he goes over the top of the right tower with a high-teed 3-wood.  I haven’t confirmed this still works, but if it does, there you go! Another option is to rotate right once or twice and play a big, high-teed C3 driver over the building […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #16: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

Normally you’ll just hit your drive out to the right over the water and into the fairway.  Here’s a hole-out from the right side of the fairway after a nice drive.  If you go too far, you could find yourself in between clubs, so you may want to use backspin and lay back just over […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 9th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

There are two greens here — one has you coming straight into the downslope, and one has you hitting into the green sloped hard to the left.  From the front, you’ve got water long (can’t be there), and dirt and road short (the better place to miss).  Also be careful not to miss on the […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

A clever change from the beta version is the addition of a sign over the two buildings on your way to the green.  Now you have to think about elevation control.  Usually, you can take a 3-wood through the gap over the building and under the sign — a driver will not clear the building […]

It’s happened to all of us — we pay that extra dollar to give Prize Play a shot, shoot a great score of about 5 strokes better than average, but still end up out of luck in 21st place.  Wouldn’t you like a chance to have your handicapped scores pitted against others with a REAL […]


Angled straight shots with irons

By • Updated: Apr 4th, 2011 • Category: Approach shots with irons

Most of us have a decent handle on distance when shooting a straight B2 shot.  However, what happens to your distance when you try to shoot the same 180-degree shot at an angle?  More than likely, you’re going to lose distance.  Theoretically, you should get the same distance off these shots as straight B2 shots, […]


Principles of Alignment

Ready for a hardcore dissection of angles and alignment?  My buddy Jeremy Olson has you covered!  The PDF document below speaks for itself and will almost certainly get you thinking about things you’ve never before considered while playing Golden Tee. Yes, it’s data heavy, but it will certainly be beneficial to those of us still […]

Creative Shot-Making on Short Par 3s

By • Updated: Jan 17th, 2011 • Category: Approach shots with irons, Features

Some of the toughest shots in this game come when you are right in-between distances with two high-lofted clubs.  Many of us use the Hawks, and most of us dread shots from 80 yards out — this is because the 9-iron sets up for 100 yards and the Sand Wedge sets up for 60 yards. […]


Rotating your golfer

By • Updated: Dec 24th, 2010 • Category: Miscellaneous

Just a quick fact to file away for you here — it takes 32 turns to complete a full 360-degree rotation of your golfer, so that means that each turn is worth 11.25 degrees.  Now you know!


Is that “straight” putt really straight?

By • Updated: Dec 24th, 2010 • Category: Putting

With experience, most of us become pretty good putters.  We have a handle on how much break to play from different distances, and we don’t often miss putts.  If you’re at this stage, there’s another important hint to learn if you haven’t discovered this already. Let’s say you have a 50-foot putt, Up 5.  You […]
