Moose Landing — Hole #6: 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: Sep 18th, 2019 • Category: Moose Landing

#6 is a drastically uphill par 4 with a long, elevated green. A stream runs along the winding fairway and you’ll notice a waterfall/ramp on the right side that could propel a tee shot onto the green. It can, but I warn you that the results are very inconsistent and it may not be worth […]


Moose Landing — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 18th, 2019 • 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 #7: Par 3

By • 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 […]

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 […]

Tundra Peak — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

Enjoy one of the few flat holes on this course!  Lay up anywhere and bring it in for birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Tundra Peak — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

With a great tee box and wind, you can get within chipping distance off the tee here, so keep that in mind for a better chance of a hole-out!  A C3 from the front left of the box is ideal. You can also ram a medium-teed driver with roll straight ahead and hope to catch […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

It’s a ways downhill, so compensate a bit extra for the elevation and wind.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Tundra Peak — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

The safest play is to the layup patch out to the right.  It’s usually a 4-5-wood to get there, almost always high-teed for extra elevation and distance.  There’s some snow short, so you absolutely must carry it there — bank off the ice on the back if you need to.  That should leave you with […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 2nd, 2018 • Category: Tundra Peak

If you’re towards the back middle of the box, a high-teed 3-wood can take aim directly at a center pin and clear the mountain!  Keep this in mind as you line up your shot, because you may not have to curve it around. Otherwise, you’ll need to be accurate enough to curve your ball around […]


Tundra Peak — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 2nd, 2018 • Category: Tundra Peak

Just lay back short of the sand for your approach shot — here’s an example hole-out.  Even if you do carry into the sand, you should still be able to loft a shot into the green.  And here’s a hole-out after a long drive out to the second part of the fairway. VIDEO DEMO


Tundra Peak — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 5th, 2014 • Category: Tundra Peak

Similar to hole #3 but a different distance.  Again, it’s a ways downhill, so compensate a bit extra for the elevation and wind.  Here’s an example hole-out. VIDEO DEMO
