Moose Landing — Hole #7: 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: Sep 22nd, 2011 • Category: Moose Landing

Another easy par 3 like hole #3 that plays straight forward to a down 6° green. A large bunker blankets the front of the green along with two smaller hazards. #7 plays a bit downhill so ease off your tee shot. Backspin is often used if the pin is near the bottom and wind is […]


Moose Landing — Hole #8: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

Hole #8 is one of my favorites! It’s a drivable, dogleg-left par 4 that I consider a classic risk vs. reward. Near the dogleg, there’s a visible gap between the trees. Hitting through the gap is my first option since it lessens the angle to approach the green. It’s not easy, but it works. A […]


Moose Landing — Hole #9: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

The last hole before the turn, #9 is a fun and challenging layout leaving you with several options. The first thing I ask myself is, “can I clear the water to the second fairway?” If the answer is “yes”– go for it! From the second fairway you’ll be able to clear the mound to the […]


Moose Landing — Hole #10: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

The back nine leads off with an undulating, double-dogleg par 5 that runs downhill, turns sharply left, rises and turns back right towards the green. Most often, a driver can be hit straight over the gully to the top portion of the fairway. Another method to consider is a C-3 type of shot from one […]


Moose Landing — Hole #11: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

Another par 5! It’s not often that Jim Z. goes back-to-back! The most common method to attack #11 is to turn right 4 or 5 times and aim for the land near the base of the mountainside. From there, you can play a 5-wood slice shot that maneuvers between the canyon walls to the green. […]


Moose Landing — Hole #12: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

#12 is a long par 4 that looks more like a par 3. It plays slightly downhill to a wide green that is guarded heavily in the front by pot bunkers and water behind. The green slopes severely downhill 7° so backspin is usually needed. You should have no problem hitting this one, just make […]


Moose Landing — Hole #13: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

Here’s a very short par 3 that plays roughly at 74 yards. Sounds easy, right? No dice! #13 can jump up and bite if you try for the pin every time. The difficulty of this hole lies in its green and pin placement. While it may be large, the green has a wicked 8° uphill […]


Moose Landing — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

#14 is a non-drivable par 4 that doglegs sharply to the right around a body of water. The tee shot is key to success and luckily you have two options – cut the corner of the dogleg or lay back. To cut the corner, stay lined up straight and hit an A-1 with backspin. The […]


Moose Landing — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

Here’s one of the toughest holes of the year! #15 is a nasty, drivable par 4 that requires great speed control and touch. The fairway lies straight ahead with trees along its left side and the green is precariously positioned off to the left with a stream protecting it. The keys to #15 are avoiding […]


Moose Landing — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

Here’s a downhill 600-yard par 5 that is as straight as it gets. The key to success here is controlling the distance of your tee shot. You’ll notice that the fairway is split into two by a river – you can’t drive over the water, so forget it. You’ll also notice that the fairway is […]


Moose Landing — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

The final par 3 at Moose Landing plays at approx. 155-yards and has a cool, shapely green with a gnarly down 10° slope. Almost a dozen pot bunkers guard the green’s front while water lies directly behind it. Unfortunately, there’s not much to tell you other than don’t end up in a bunker! You woud […]


Moose Landing — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

#18 at Moose Landing is my favorite finishing hole of the year! It’s a drivable par 4 to an elevated green that is carved into a mountainside. A vertical and shapely rock face guards the entire right side of the green, while three pot bunkers protect the left. Beyond the bunkers to the left, a […]


Why You Don’t Play Well in Tournaments

Players vs. IT — how spin and the trackball affect your shots

By • Updated: Sep 7th, 2011 • Category: Approach shots with irons, Features, Putting, Using the track ball

There are three parts to this discussion, but they have been up for debate for years.  Let’s start with spin on putts. PLAYER CLAIM: Applying roll or backspin to putts affects the putt. IT CLAIM: Spin has no effect on putts. Many pros believe that spin absolutely has an affect on the putt.  Some players […]

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, […]

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 […]

Now that you’ve hopefully got many games of 2011 under your belts, you have a pretty good idea of the holes on which you score well, but more so, you probably know which holes are giving you fits.  Ever wonder if other players like you are struggling on the same holes? Better yet, wouldn’t it […]


Best Virtual Balls for Amateurs in 2011

By now you’ve probably seen the grid that the guys at IT put together to compare Distance, Backspin, Curve and Loft for all available virtual balls in Golden Tee 2011.
