Hole of the Day: 08/14/10

Hey! My home course!

Warwick Town Park, Warwick, NY

Hole 3, Long Tee - 282' to short basket, 380 to long




Pic of Baskets




Big right hand turn, uphill. There is a MANDO, forcing you to go left of the trees from the tee.

Short basket shown above, long basket is up on top of the "cliff"

[toothyfish]

For either basket, for me it's a flippy DX Eagle, thrown up the left and allowed to turn and glide around the trees. Done right, it leaves me a 40ish ft putt to the short and a standing Roc shot to the long.

The Steve Brinster route to the long basket is up over everything! Nice to have 550ft of power!

FH a pearly Orc, then up and down

Short is a BH Stalker or Buzzz. The long is a FH champ Boss and seeing what happens.

X XL RHBH from the looks of it. Maybe, depending on what I saw in 3 dimensions; FH or OH a Z Flick

[toothyfish]

I will say that the right turn is sharp. There are a few narrow lanes through the trees. RHFH is a smart play. My FH stinks, so I use the flippy plastic. You really need something that will turn/fade big and late.

I've also seen rollers thrown from the long tee, as well.

ugh.

anny my buzz and hopefully be close enough to upshot from there.

Skylands Classic is a great video to see how the pros handle this. Very punishing hole if you don't keep it on the fairway (ask Avery Jenkins about it). Even though I'm primarily RHBH, here's how I'd approach this one:

RHFH a Star Firebird to get a good look at the fairway. RHBH a Z Buzzz to get close to the basket. Star Aviar if I'm still a decent distnace out. Finish off with an R-Pro Aviar.

Rhfh star destroyer for both I think.

I'd work on the FH here. Possibly an ESP Force or one of my Eagles.

If in a scored round, I'd go RHBH with a Stingray.. Try to give it as much height as the hole will allow and turn it over up the right dog-leg elevation.
